In November 2022, it was announced that Michael Douglas and Cameron Douglas would star in the film Blood Knot, with Howard Deutch serving as director.[3]

In May 2023, it was announced that Roberto Sneider replaced Deutch due to schedule conflicts and that David Morse, Michael Stahl-David and Walker Scobell had been added to the cast.[4]

Filming occurred in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in June 2023.[6][7][8][9] In July 2023, it was reported that filming in Massachusetts was completed and that the rest of the film will be shot in Belize and Mexico City.[10][11]

Release

[edit | edit source]

In June 2025, Good Deed Entertainment acquired the film rights of the film, which had been retitled from Blood Knot to Looking Through Water.[12] The film was released in the United States on September 12, 2025.[2]
