L.A.-based Tyrus Pictures is developing a feature film adaptation of horror manga Noah Of The Blood Sea, according to a report on Deadline. Michael Zelman and Hamid Mokhneche will serve as producers under the Tyrus Pictures banner, with production slated to begin in 2027.

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.

“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.”
