Will there be more Agatha Christie adaptations?

We have the Poirot franchise, we have other Christie stories. I love these films, I love Ken [Branagh, who plays detective Hercule Poirot and directed Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile]. We have a third script written, by Michael Green, that is a pretty daring shift in genre and in tone. It’s post-war Venice and an adaptation of one of the lesser-known novels. So I think you’ll see the mustache again.

Would the mustache direct as well?

Yes. Ken is Poirot, but Ken is also the series.

Cool. I wonder which story they will adapt next?

Hmm...back when the first movie series was undertaken, Murder on the Orient Express was followed by Death on the Nile which was followed by...Evil Under the Sun.

Doesn't sound like that it how it is going to be , this time.

Hey, they should keep making these. Branaugh is fun in the role and they seem to be able to attract at least PARTIAL all-star casts.

Maybe it's an earlier book like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd or The Big Four.

We have a title: A Haunting in Venice...spooky...

Fantastic news. I've enjoyed both movies so far.

Wasn’t the last one a massive financial disaster? Who keep financing those losing projects?

Yeh they may have changed their mind about a 3rd since then
