Cruella’s Joel Fry Boards “The Queen Mary”

Currently in production in London.

Joel Fry (Cruella, Game of Thrones) has signed onto The Queen Mary, the highly anticipated feature horror film inspired by the hauntings on-board the infamous ocean liner. Joel Fry will star opposite Alice Eve (Belgravia, Bombshell, Iron Fist) with Gary Shore (Dracula Untold) directing. The upcoming film is a psychological horror/mystery which explores three interwoven stories — the violent disintegration of two families onboard the ship in 1938 and present day. Stephen Oliver and Tom Vaughan wrote the script with revisions by Gary Shore. The film is being produced by Brett Matthew Tomberlin of Imagination Design Works, Thorsten Schumacher of Rocket Science, Lars Sylvest, and Nigel Sinclair and Nicholas Ferrall of White Horse Pictures (The Woman in Black, Let Me In, The Bee Gees: How to Mend a Broke Heart).

Fry starred in the hit summer film Cruella for Walt Disney Studios, Ben Wheatley’s latest feature, “In the Earth,” and in the critically acclaimed TV series Game of Thrones. He is currently shooting Taika Waititi’s Our Flag Means Death for HBO Max. Other recent work includes the Netflix feature“Love Wedding Repeat,” Danny Boyle’s “Yesterday” with Lily James and Himesh Patel, and Simon Amstell’s “Benjamin.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with an actor as talented as Joel Fry. When it comes to versatility he’s up there with the very best. He has a very bright future and I’m grateful we get to have him be a part of our cast” said Shore.

Principal photography is currently taking place in the UK based ARRI/Creative Technologies studios, a virtual production facility which immerses cast and production crew inside their CG environments (in real time) with the help of a massive wraparound LED screen. Later in November, the production will board The Queen Mary as part of the exclusive license granted to Imagination Design Works by the ship. Located in dock at Long Beach, Calif, the multi-storied ocean liner,page1image18168named Time Magazine’s top ten haunted places in the world, receives two million visitors each year, drawn by its amazing past and legend.

“We are fortunate to be working in conjunction with the City of Long Beach to bring Gary’s vision about this historic treasure to audiences world-wide. Our ability to film both on the actual ship as well as incorporate a virtual production depicting the Queen Mary in 1938 creates a new standard and paradigm for media said producer, Brett Tomberlin.
