While on board a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger thrown overboard late at night, only to be told that it didn’t happen, as all passengers and crew are accounted for. Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.
Starring: Keira Knightley, Guy Pearce, David Ajala, Art Malik, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, David Morrissey, Daniel Ings And Hannah Waddingham, Gitte Witt, Christopher Rygh, Pippa Bennett-Warner, John MacMillan, Paul Kaye, Amanda Collin, and Lisa Loven Kongsli
As touchpoints for the film, Stone looked at classic ’70s thrillers like Marathon Man, Klute, The Conversation, and Three Days of the Condor. He also cites the work of Alfred Hitchcock — the Master of Suspense’s film The Lady Vanishes shares a great deal of DNA with Ware’s original novel. “Finding that tradition, but with a different gender and a different energy, has been really exciting,” Stone says.
Principal photography took place on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England in September 2024 last year, with filming also on the superyacht Savannah.
