Death on the Nile | Feb 11, 2022 | Branagh returns as star/director/moustache model | Armie Hammer is sadly in this | Will release in China

[WrathOfHan]

Nice. This will be one of Disney's first Fox movies.

[Jonwo]

I'm guessing they're confident that Bond isn't making that slot. It should do well against Wonder Woman 2.

[John Marston]

Uh, do they have advance notice of James Bind being delayed because if not I think This film would be in trouble against it

[Avatree]

you cannot fight the Nolan, Sir Ken.

 

James Bond 25 ‘Christopher Nolan WILL direct’

[Valonqar]

Can't wait for casting news. 

[Cmasterclay]

Yea I love Kenny and the book is great but man alive Murder on the Orient Express was maybe the most forgettable flick of 2017. Just the absolute replacement level version of that story. So not getting my hopes up here. 

[Jake Gittes]

Murder was a mess. Not even a fun romp or anything. At least 2/3 of the cast wasted, terrible effects, pointless action bits, no atmosphere, Branagh playing Poirot as a buffoon, above all no real recognition of why mysteries fundamentally are interesting and how to best engage an audience with one. Just a pile-up of flashy... stuff. I haven't read Death on the Nile so maybe the story there is much better but I'm still not holding my breath that Branagh will bring out its strengths.

[Cmasterclay]

Yea the weirdest thing about Murder to me is that there seems to be no actual joy or mystery in the "detecting" scenes. Sure everyone knows the twist but I've never seen a mystery handled with less suspense.

I didn't know the twist and didn't find the movie very suspenseful. I did enjoy it though.

[MrPink]

I enjoyed it and look forward to some more.

 

I did get a little sleepy tho at one point

Not sure how Branagh could have this and Artemis Fowl out in 2019.

Depends when Artemis Fowl shoots, if it's Spring or Summer then Death on the Nile could in theory shoot from late November or January and still make it for a November release.

Smart to get a quick turnaround with this. If they keep the budgets similar they could make a solidly successful series of these Poirot adaptations.

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

While i enjoyed the first,Bond or not,i can't see how this will survive WW2.It's not like the reaction to the first one was out-of-this-world great.

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched:

 

Today Nolan announced he was NOT directing the next Bond film...

 

 

Maybe a lesson will be learned about treating a fanboy rumor as a proven fact...

 

 

 

 

[ecstasy]

How is this a sequel? This is one of my favorites from the tv series.  My girl Emily Blunt was in it. 

 

[TombRaider]

Murder on the Orient Express was quite boring IMO

Finally, the studios have given your grandparents a cinematic universe!

Maybe the Dark universe should have went for that fully, instead of just half doing it.
