Third Poirot Film

[Mikezilla3k]

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell talked about the studio’s recent and popular movies, and upcoming titles such as the sequels for Free Guy, Avatar, and Planet of the Apes. Asbell also took a little time to praise and talk about the Hercule Poirot film series, which has proven itself quite successful at the box office and recently debuted its second installment, Death on the Nile.

The second incarnation of Kenneth Branagh as the famous detective premiered in early February and so far has grossed over $100 million worldwide – which isn’t a mind-blowing turnout, but it’s still a good number during pandemic times. And, regardless of how the murder-mystery movie performs at the box office at the end of its theater run, it seems like 20th Century Studios has already decided to move forward with the franchise — and a third installment could come earlier than we might think:

“We have the Poirot franchise, we have other Christie stories. I love these films, I love Ken [Branagh, who plays detective Hercule Poirot and directed ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and ‘Death on the Nile’]. We have a third script written, by Michael Green, that is a pretty daring shift in genre and in tone. It’s post-war Venice and an adaptation of one of the lesser-known novels. So I think you’ll see the mustache again."

Asbell is right: there is no shortage of source material to keep the franchise going. Created by world-famous author Agatha Christie, the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot has been featured in more than thirty novels ever since his first appearance, which means the peculiar investigator has plenty of more cases to solve onscreen. Aside from this, Agatha Christie fans will be happy to see lesser known stories from Poirot being adapted to cinema, since Death on the Nile is the third adaptation of the story.

Im in for another. Liked them both so far and its something at least different other than a "milk some 80's or 90's franchise" BS or yet more super hero stuff.

[Winslow Leach]

Great news! I'm in for anything Christie.

I'm in for a third. But, the first had Johnny Depp, the second had Armie Hammer. Which controversial star will the 3rd have?

[unberechenbar]

Yes! I hope they keep filming on 65mm too.

Who isnt controversial at this stage? Everybody’s accused of something or has offended someone, somewhere. So it seems.

The 3rd one should have Amber Heard and Woody Allen. Disney would have a lot of fun trying to make trailers then.

I would like the third film to be an adaptation of book Hercule Poirot's Christmas. With this cast:
Hercule Poirot-Kenneth Branagh
Colonel Johnson, Chief Constable-Ron Perlman
Superintendent Sugden, the investigating police officer-Marko Janketić (this guy https://www.sveopoznatima.com/marko-...ic-biografija/)
Simeon Lee, an old millionaire-Brad Dourif
Alfred Lee, Simeon's son, who lives with his father-Alan Tudyk
Lydia Lee, Alfred's wife- Liv Tyler
George Lee, Simeon's son and an MP-Billy Boyd
Magdalene Lee, George's wife-Alicia Witt
David Lee, Simeon's son, the artist-Michael Fassbender
Hilda Lee, David's wife-Cate Blanchett
Harry Lee, Simeon's son, called the prodigal son-Ben Foster
Pilar Estravados-Ana de Armas
Stephen Farr-Adam Driver
Horbury, Simeon's valet- Tobin Bell
Tressilian, the butler-Matthew Lillard
Walter, the footman- Clifton Collins Jr.
