Keira Knightley's Netflix thriller turns dream cruise into deadly mystery
Knightley plays Lo, a travel journalist assigned to cover a boutique cruise in the North Sea. But when she witnesses a woman being thrown overboard in the middle of the night, her reporting instincts kick in. There's just one problem: no one else onboard believes her. According to the ship's manifest, no one is missing. Gaslit and isolated, Lo launches her own investigation, risking her credibility, and safety, to find the truth.
Netflix's new stills offer a tense glimpse at the slow unravelling of Lo's mental state, as well as key characters aboard the ship. The cast includes David Ajala, Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, David Morrissey, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, each of whom may be hiding something beneath their polished surface.
Directed by Simon Stone, known for his emotionally layered films The Dig and The Daughter, the movie is expected to focus as much on internal dread as external danger. Co-written with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, the script adapts the novel's themes of disbelief and female isolation in closed spaces, a fear that author Ruth Ware says still feels relevant today.
Ware noted, 'Cabin 10 is about a woman who reports the truth and isn't taken seriously because of who she is. Too many people know what that feels like.'
The trailer is still under wraps, but with its mix of glamour, mystery, and psychological tension, The Woman in Cabin 10 promises a slow-burn thriller that lingers.

David Byrne and Hayley Williams to collaborate on new song for Netflix's ‘The Twits'
David Byrne and Hayley Williams are teaming up for an original song, 'Open the Door,' featured in Netflix's upcoming animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Twits, which is set to premiere on October 17. The collaboration marks another creative partnership between the Talking Heads frontman and the Paramore singer, who have previously covered each other's songs and are set to appear on Byrne's forthcoming album Who Is the Sky? 'Open the Door' will play during the end credits of The Twits, while Byrne has also written and produced three original songs for the film—'We're Not Like Ev'ryone Else,' 'Lullaby,' and 'The Problem Is You'—all performed by the cast. Speaking about the project, Byrne said he was drawn to the story's playful exploration of 'dreadful characters,' adding that he invited Williams to collaborate after her lyrical ideas were inspired by the story. Williams called the experience 'surreal' and expressed her enthusiasm for working on a film based on her favorite Roald Dahl book. Directed by Phil Johnston (Ralph Breaks the Internet), The Twits follows the titular characters—described as the 'meanest, smelliest, nastiest people on earth'—as they clash with a family of magical Muggle-Wumps and two brave children. The film's cast includes Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Ryan Lopez, Timothy Simons, Nicole Byer, Jason Mantzoukas, Alan Tudyk, Mark Proksch, and others. Johnny Vegas and Margo Martindale voice the Twits, alongside Emilia Clarke and Natalie Portman in undisclosed roles. Produced by Johnston, Maggie Malone, and Daisy May West, with animation by Jellyfish Pictures, the film is part of Netflix's multi-project deal involving Dahl's works. Previous adaptations include Matilda the Musical and Wes Anderson's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
