Jared Leto will star, producer Jason Blum and his Blumhouse productions are also attached to the film. “Adrift” is an adaptation of a short story by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author best known for “Ringu” and “Dark Water,” before they were both remade as American movies. The story is set in the dead calm of the open sea, where a fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it’s towed into the port, but he soon discovers why the rest of his crew members call it a “ghost ship.” Leto apparently started the project after reading the Suzuki story and pursuing the rights for over a decade with his producing partner, Emma Ludbrook.
