Tyrus Pictures is developing a feature film adaptation of the horror manga Noah of the Blood Sea(Kekkai no Noah).

Created by Yu Satomi, the five-volume manga follows a group of passengers embarking on what promises to be an idyllic journey aboard a luxury cruise ship. But when passengers begin mysteriously disappearing, the voyage descends into a terrifying fight for survival.

Michael Zelman and Hamid Mokhneche will produce for Tyrus Pictures, which picked up rights to adapt from major Japanese publisher Takeshobo.

“What immediately drew me to Noah of the Blood Sea was its extraordinary cinematic potential,” said Mokhneche. “The combination of a luxury cruise ship, an unnerving atmosphere and a distinctive supernatural mythology creates the foundation for a compelling horror film. We’re excited to work with Takeshobo to bring Yu Satomi’s vision to the screen while staying true to what makes the original manga so distinctive.”

“Both Yu Satomi and I are excited to see how the distinctive visual style and unique world of Noah of the Blood Sea will translate from the pages of the manga to the big screen,” said Atsushi Kimura, Deputy General Manager at Takeshobo.

“From our earliest conversations with Hamid, we were impressed by his understanding of the original work and his commitment to preserving what makes it unique,” said Shin Ogasawara, Deputy Corporate Officer at Takeshobo. “We look forward to working with Tyrus Pictures to bring this story to the screen.”

Deadline first reported on the adaptation.
