Keira Knightly Takes The Lead Role In The Netflix Adaptation Of The Novel, The Woman In Cabin 10

They don’t want you to believe what she saw. Keira Knightley stars in the Netflix film, The Woman In Cabin 10. See the official trailer here.

There’s nothing more relaxing than a trip on a super yacht — unless you happen to witness a murder. That’s the predicament facing Keira Knightley in The Woman in Cabin 10, a new thriller coming to Netflix in October. Based on the bestselling novel by Ruth Ware, the film is directed by Simon Stone (The Daughter, The Dig), who also co-wrote the script with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins).

THE PREMISE

While on a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger tossed overboard late one night, only to be told that she must have dreamed it, as all passengers are accounted for. Despite not being believed by anyone onboard, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.

RUTH WARE

Even though the movie’s source material came out 10 years ago, Ware believes it’s still resonant because:

“The fear of not being believed is perennial, unfortunately. Cabin 10, at its heart, is about a woman who experiences something wrong, reports it truthfully, and isn’t taken seriously because of who she is. Too many people know what that feels like, and I think we want vindication for ourselves as much as Lo.”
