MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS | 10 NOV 2017 | Fox

[Jonwo]

I wonder if Fox would do a Miss Marple film, Having seen many adaptations of the novels like the Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side, she isn’t as interesting compared to Poirot, unless  they got someone like Helen Mirren or Julie Walters to play Miss Marple, Mirren probably is a bit too glamorous for the role but Julie Walters would fit the character well

Gone Girl.

Thanks. Next question: why the comparison with Gone Girl?

My best guess would be "adult-oriented mystery/thriller", but I agree, it's a bit of a reach.

Both are adult-skewing who-dunit's.

In the theater for this now.  It starts in 30 minutes. Man I love this discount Tuesday.   $7 tickets so even if I get a soda, I'm only spending $12

A simple Shay trick that always works: NEVER get a soda (at least at a theater). Now you're 5+ bucks richer.

 

1. It's so overpriced you'd better see another movie with the saved money.

2. It's very harmful.

This was a weird one. At times it was great. Fun, energetic and exciting. Other times it really dragged and struggled to keep the suspense high enough for me to give a shit.

 

I thought they really botched the ending. Really over the top and I ended up laughing for the majority of the final 20 minutes.

 

But that mustache.. mmm.

This could be the first time Doyle gets to score a sequel to a movie he scored.

Nice to see this doing well enough. I will eventually see it on Netflix. 

I know Agatha Christie wrote dozens of novels with Poirot, of which I've never read any but should correct, so they have lots of future possible source material to dig from. Orient Express and Death on Nile are the only two I know. I actually know more about Miss Marple(her female detective) due to the PBS series.

Why am I not surprised...

[ddddeeee]

I love Branagh, I love Pfeiffer and I love Doyle...but this song is awful. Well sung, lovely melody, but Branagh is a terrible lyricist.

Never given my thoughts on this movie. 

 

I thought it was competently made. I enjoyed the performances and the atmosphere. 

 

Glad it’s doing well BO-wise. 

 

I’m down for more in this universe.

[ddddeeee]

It's kinda funny that Hollywood has been sitting on this apparent goldmine for years.

[FantasticBeasts]

I probably have said this more than once but And Then There Were None, has by far the bigget potential out of anything Cristie has written.

It is an amazing thriller and it can work very well on big screen . The whole story is very cinematic.

Not to mention that the book has sold more than 100 million copies.

[Sam]

Yup. Agatha Christie is a big name in the detective/mystery genre.

 

For all the Sherlock Holmes adaptations, I don’t know why they don’t see the potential in Poirot or Ms. Marple series, especially toward the adult audience.

And Then There Were None and even Death on the Nile to a lesser extent has way more potential among younger audience thsan this one.
