The BBC miniseries of 'And Then There Were None' was good and all but it felt very...confined on the small screen. The book is really creepy while the miniseries was simply entertaining.

 

Then again, Branagh isn't the guy to pull that one off to be honest. Nile would be a good shout. 

Death on the Nile is a no brainer, it's set in a exotic location and it's the second most known Poirot after Murder.

I'd say The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is probably up there as well, because of the infamous twist

Not to mention

 

it’s referenced towards the end of the film

Kenneth Branagh’s remake of Murder on the Orient Express won the weekend derby at Australian cinemas, edging out the third outing of Taika Waititi’s blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok.

 

Fox’s Murder on the Orient Express raked in $3.83 million at 307 cinemas and $3.9 million with previews, no doubt helped by the stellar ensemble cast including Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Josh Gad and Derek Jacobi.

 

Pro-rata, the Australian opening of the remake of Sidney Lumet’s 1974 film was bigger than the estimated $US28.2 million US debut. The international total was $45.8 million from 57 markets, but of that China accounted for $19 million.

I've mentioned it in the other threads but did anyone notice the blatant product placement in one scene?

It shows up twice assuming you're referring to chocolate.

Yeah, Godiva, there was one for Veuve champagne but that wasn't as blatant. Usually I don't notice product placement but that really stuck out.

I adore Death on the Nile.

Excited to watch this one. Guess its releasing in India this weekend.

Kinda loving mystery movies these days. More than the cast premise is something which looks interesting.

[DAJK]

Thought this was decent. Didn't hook me the way I was hoping it would, but it was well made overall and I enjoyed it enough. Hope it does get a sequel.

Only dropped 12% in the UK. Going to make a lot of money.

 

The Agatha Christie Cinematic Universe begins.

 

 

I really want to see a Poirot/Miss Marple team-up.

[Hatebox]

Without spoiling it, obviously, is the reveal the same as the book? I'd heard Branagh mixed it up a bit but yet to see that confirmed.

Is JL releasing in India this weekend?

 

Tough choice then....though JL will easily win the battle.

Though, I'd doubt we'd ever see Murder of Roger Ackroyd on the big screen.
