Vertical has secured North American rights to the supernatural horror-mystery The Queen Mary from Dracula Untold director Gary Shore.

 The film is a psychological horror which explores the mysterious and violent events surrounding one family’s voyage on Halloween night (1938) and their interwoven destiny with another family onboard the infamous ocean liner present day.

Shooting took place aboard the actual Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. A luxury ocean-liner graced by generations of the rich and famous, HMS Queen Mary is now celebrated – and feared – as “One of the World’s Most Haunted Places” (Time Magazine).

The Queen Mary stars Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness, Belgravia), Joel Fry (Game of Thrones), Nell Hudson (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), William Shockley (Death in Texas), BAFTA award-winner Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable?), and more.

Stephen Oliver and Tom Vaughan penned the script with revisions by Shore.

Vertical has slated the film for release in Summer 2023.
