Yes yes yes.

 

This is very good.  I really liked Murder on the Orient Express and am very pleased to see a sequel being made.

[Jake Gittes]

No reason to think this'll be any less mediocre than Murder so I'm out. I'll just watch the David Suchet episode of this instead.

[DAJK]

Murder was alright. But I'd see a sequel in a heartbeat. Excited to see what sort of star-studded cast they get together for this one.

[BadAtGender]

I wonder if this happens before or after Artemis Fowl.

[FantasticBeasts]

It's a more fun mystery than Orient  for me. Hope its good.

Nile makes a far better movie than Orient Express. I think it flows better, and have some good tension throughout, instead just a straight Q&A throughout the book, unraveling the mystery.

Very true. I would argue that the the Ustinov movie is probably the best Poirot has been on big screen yet.

Probably after, I suspect November or December 2020.

It would be funny if Maggie Smith returns... in Bette Davis's role.

[Valonqar]

This is going to make more than OE. It's even more popular story. 

 

Any ideas what could they adapt after this? Also, they'll very likely start Miss Marple franchise soon too.

I would rather see them do a Poirot novel that has not been filmed before.

They've all been filmed before.

I just finished reading this.

 

It was another fun read, and probably much more up Branagh's street than Orient Express.

 

I will say that this is the first time (of the handful of Christie that I've read) that I found the reveal to be pretty obvious though.

 

Also, the set-up at the end of Orient Express doesn't make sense unless they are dramatically changing the storyline.

Just watched the '78 version.

 

It was kinda awful and kinda amazing at the same time. Should be a camp classic.

How many projects does he have in the works now? Dude's a machine.

November 13th 2020 would be my guess

Fun article on why this was chosen as the follow-up.
