Death on the Nile (2022)

[Himmel]

After first taking the train, Twentieth Century Fox is now readying to hop on a riverboat cruise.

On the heels of Murder on the Orient Express, Fox is staying in the Agatha Christie business by putting into development Death on the Nile, its next Hercule Poirot mystery.

Nile, first published in 1937, saw the detective on a vacation in Egypt and becoming involved in a love triangle gone murderously bad. The novel once again featured socialites, social climbers and high society’s help in the cast.

Michael Green, who wrote Orient Express, is penning the script and while there is no deal currently in place, five-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh is expected to return as director and reprise his role as Poirot.

Nice to see an old school film do well.

[The Debts]

Great news! Branagh was an excellent Poirot and to see more of him would be a true delight.

[imsounoriginal]

Nice, really need to see Orient Express.

[DanTheMan]

I’m on board for another mystery adventure.

[Cremildo]

Now that's a remake that can be a vast improvement over the first adaptation - the 1978 movie is a waxworks of famous people in garish costumes without an ounce of visual flair or narrative power. Some people complain that Lumet's Orient Express is like a TV movie (an opinion I disagree with) - I wonder what they say about Guillermin's limp dick of a whodunit.

It would be nice if they’d film one of the many novels that haven’t already received a big screen adaptation.

[Monterey Jack]

Hellz yeah...I loved Orient Express, and would love Branagh to make another Poirot movie.

I vaguely remember the 1978 version. Is that the one Guillermin directed and is this the same director who directed King Kong '78 and Sheena?

Fox normally releases gorgeous looking blu-rays, so if nothing else, Gadot will be worth the buy when it hits home video.
