Netflix announced on Wednesday that Keira Knightley will star in an upcoming feature film adaptation of the bestselling novel The Woman in Cabin 10.

The upcoming film will be directed by Simon Stone (The Daughter, The Dig) from a screenplay written by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Ruth Ware, which was released in 2016 and became a New York Times bestseller.

The film follows the story of a journalist on board a luxury yacht for a travel assignment.

Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.”
