""The sea is a nightmare to fake with VFX [visual effects]," Stone explains. "So any interaction between the characters and the sea would have cost so much to do. It was a purely pragmatic decision. The only thing we really needed to change was the number of cabins for story purposes, so we had to build the cabins and we designed some of the interior of the ship.""
""You can't shoot on a real yacht with that amount of wealth and then fabricate that in a studio on a really cheap level," Normington adds. "If we had built it entirely, we wouldn't have had the scope and the scale we got by using a real yacht. It also gave a sense of real peril being on a boat at a certain height with water below.""
The Woman in Cabin 10 is a psychological thriller starring Keira Knightley as journalist Laura Blacklock, who witnesses a passenger fall overboard during a luxury superyacht voyage through Norway's fjords while hosts deny anyone is missing. Production chartered a privately owned superyacht for several weeks and sailed it, then built additional cabins and some interiors on a soundstage to alter cabin numbers for story needs. The sea's complexity and cost of VFX made filming on a real yacht pragmatic. Using the real yacht provided scale, authenticity, and a palpable sense of peril over open water.
