VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This week,
August 18-24, Cunard's luxury ocean
liner Queen Mary 2 will provide the
setting for a new film by Oscar® winning filmmaker
Steven Soderbergh ("Oceans 11,"
"Traffic" and "Behind the Candelabra") with an Oscar®
and Emmy® award-winning cast and crew.
The movie, "Let Them All Talk" (a working title) is being filmed
on Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 on
her iconic seven-day Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton. HBO Max has acquired rights to
the film and stars Meryl Streep, Candice
Bergen, Gemma Chan,
Lucas Hedges and Dianne Wiest. Gregory
Jacobs is producing, with Ken
Meyer and Joseph Malloch
executive producing.
For onboard movie buffs, Queen
Mary 2 guests will have the exciting opportunity to appear
in the film as extras.
"It's thrilling to have Steven
Soderbergh and his stellar cast filming their new movie on
our flagship Queen Mary 2," said
Josh Leibowitz, SVP Cunard North
America. "Our guests will have a rare opportunity to be part
of a major Hollywood feature film,
and join Cunard's rich legacy with the entertainment industry."
Cunard has a long history of hosting stars of stage and screen
onboard their iconic ships. Luminaries such as Elizabeth Taylor, Rita
Hayworth, Wes Anderson, and
Tilda Swinton have all sailed with
the line. Sting performed a set in Queen
Mary 2's Royal Court Theatre; Ed
Sheeran wrote part of his last album on a Crossing; and
Francis Ford Coppola sailed recently
to work on his book while at sea. In December 2017, Queen
Mary 2 hosted the first ever major movie premiere with the
star-studded event for 20th Century Fox's "The Greatest
Showman" starring Hugh Jackman,
Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, Rebecca
Ferguson, and Zendaya.
