Actors Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, and Riccardo Scamarico have been roped in for director Kenneth Branagh’s third effort in the Hercule Poirot film, A Haunting In Venice based on Agatha Christie novels. Branagh will reprise his role as Poirot in the film.
Set in post-WWII Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, the film follows another mystery featuring the celebrated sleuth Poirot. Inspired by Christie’s Hallowe’en Party, the now retired and living in self-imposed exile Poirot reluctantly attends a seance at a haunted palazzo when one of the guests is murdered, and the former detective must once again find out who did it. “This is a fantastic development of the character Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise,” Branagh said of the new film. “Based on a complex, little known tale of mystery set at Halloween in a pictorially ravishing city, it is an amazing opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we are relishing the chance to deliver something truly spine-chilling for our loyal movie audiences.”
