The legendary ship The Queen Mary is the subject of a new psychological horror film titled… The Queen Mary and it’s being helmed by Dracula Untold director Gary Shore.
The movie is set up at Vertical Entertainment, and the story chronicles “the mysterious and violent events surrounding one family’s voyage on Halloween night in 1938, and how their destinies link up with those of another family onboard the ocean liner into the present day.”
It’s explained that the haunting story unravels “between the ship’s heyday in the late 1930s and the present and tells the story of two families whose lives become violently entangled.”
The cast of the film includes Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Joel Fry (Game of Thrones), Nell Hudson (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), William Shockley (Death in Texas), and Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable?).
The Queen Mary is docked in Long Beach, Calif., and has established a reputation for being “One of the World’s Most Haunted Places.” The ship has a long history of visitors reporting seeing ghosts and visions in its rooms and on its decks, making it the perfect setting for paranormal goings-on on the big screen.
Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey said in a statement: “We were immediately intrigued by the chilling, grisly tale that the filmmakers have woven together in The Queen Mary. We’re sure audiences and horror fanatics will flock to experience it this summer.”
The producers added: “We were impressed by Vertical’s passion for Gary Shore’s intelligent and twisted take on a great English and American legend. We know this team will be the perfect US distribution partner in logging the next chapter of this vessel’s historic and haunted history.”
Sounds like this will be an incredibly fun horror movie! The script was written by Stephen Oliver and Tom Vaughan penned the script with revisions by Shore. The film is produced by Brett Matthew Tomberlin of Imagination Design Works, Thorsten Schumacher of Rocket Science, Lars Sylvest, Nigel Sinclair and Nicholas Ferrall of White Horse Pictures, and Mali Elfman.
