Cunard guests invited to star in new film
Guests on board Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 this week are getting the chance to be extras in a new film starring Meryl Streep, Candice Bergen, and Gemma Chan.
The film, which has the working title Let Them All Talk, is by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, who directed Oceans 11, Traffic and Behind the Candelabra.
Filming will take place over a seven-day east bound voyage from New York to Southampton.
Guests were notified ahead of their voyage and are being sent daily notifications of where filming is taking place the following day.
Cunard president Simon Palethorpe said: "We’re delighted to be hosting Steven Soderbergh, Meryl Streep and a star studded cast on our flagship for what will be an incredible movie."
Cunard has already hosted stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth, Wes Anderson, and Tilda Swinton.
In December 2017, Queen Mary 2 hosted the global premiere with a star-studded event for 20th Century Fox’s The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, and Zac Efron.
