Production[]

In 2002, Bragi F. Schut wrote the initial screenplay for The Last Voyage of the Demeter with Robert Schwentke on board to direct. However, the film languished in development hell for close to two decades with several other directors attached to the film including Marcus Nispel, Stefan Ruzowitsky, David Slade and Neil Marshall. At one point Noomi Rapace and Ben Kingsley were set to star in the film, with Viggo Mortensen "in talks".[5][6][7][8]

In October 2019, it was announced André Øvredal would direct the film with Amblin Partners set to produce.[9] In January 2021, Corey Hawkins joined the cast of the film with a screenplay by Zak Olkewicz.[10] In June 2021, David Dastmalchian, Liam Cunningham, Aisling Franciosi, Javier Botet, Jon Jon Briones, Stefan Kapičić, Nikolai Nikolaeff, Woody Norman, Martin Furulund and Chris Walley joined the cast of the film.[11]

Principal photography began in June 2021 in Berlin. Filming later occurred in Malta.[12] Principal photography has wrapped, as of 1 October 2021.[13]
