A Haunting In Venice (Kenneth Branagh, September 15, 2023) Movie

SPOOKY POIROT GANG RISE UP

The unsettling supernatural thriller based upon the novel “Hallowe’en Party” by Agatha Christie and directed by and starring Oscar® winner Kenneth Branagh as famed detective Hercule Poirot, will open in theaters nationwide September 15, 2023.

“A Haunting in Venice” is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, “A Haunting in Venice” is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

Reuniting the team of filmmakers behind 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile,” the film is directed by Kenneth Branagh with a screenplay by Oscar® nominee Michael Green (“Logan”) based upon Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party. The producers are Kenneth Branagh, Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, and Simon Kinberg, with Louise Killin, James Prichard, and Mark Gordon serving as executive producers. A brilliant acting ensemble portrays a cast of unforgettable characters, including Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen (“Rosaline”), Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”), Jamie Dornan (“Belfast”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jude Hill (“Belfast”), Ali Khan (“6 Underground”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Kelly Reilly (“Yellowstone”), Riccardo Scamarcio (“Caravaggio’s Shadow”), and recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”).

I thought Murder on the Orient Express was a decent watch, Death on the Nile was a campy mess, and somehow completely missed that this was in production, let alone coming out this year.

Wild cast, too: Tina Fey? Michelle Yeoh? Roll on for September.

 

I'm down

 

Looks better than prior Poirot film that is for sure

 

After the absolute trash CGI in the previous film, very excited for this one

 

i can't believe they made another one of these

 

I feel like these are basically going to become straight to Hulu movies that will get a brief theatrical release to gross $30 million domestically.

I hope they never stop making them.

 

didn't bother with his other ones and didn't even realise they were in a series lol, but the trailer for this looks kinda great?

 

This was fine. Better than Death on The Nile. Spooky.


I applaud it for not having the parrot matter, thought that was obvious
But one of the minor twists was the same as another recent murder mystery show someone mistaking the time because a clock was turned back, like in Only Murders

 

I love these movies. Excited to check this one out

 

Reading the synopsis of the book it's apparently based on it's a completely different story lol

 

Thought this was fun and miles better than Death On The Nile

 

better than death on the nile but still nothing amazing

 

In the interview 20th Century head Steve Asbell gave to THR about the studio's future plans he mentioned continuing this Christie-verse franchise is a big priority for them. Confirmed adaptations of And Then There Were None, Witness for the Prosecution, and Miss Marple are getting made. Said they have more plans beyond that.
