Who would have predicted Hercule Poirot would grow to be one of many Disneyfied Fox’s greatest movie franchises?
I actually wouldn’t have. And but right here we’re, about to get our third Poirot movie within the final six years directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh as Agatha Christie’s well-known detective. (The different two had been 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and 2022’s Death on the Nile.) The newest, dubbed A Haunting in Venice (based mostly on the Christie novel Hallowe’en Party), options Poirot investigating yet one more homicide, and sleuthing his means by means of yet one more all-star solid, this time together with Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, and up to date Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.

On the one hand, it’s type of enjoyable to see Poirot a little exterior his ordinary style. On the opposite hand, if the trailer is making the movie out to be extra of a ghost story than it’s, that might be disappointing. Here is the movie’s official synopsis:
“A Haunting in Venice” is ready in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, “A Haunting in Venice” is a terrifying thriller that includes the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and residing in self-imposed exile on the planet’s most glamorous metropolis, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of many friends is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets and techniques.
A Haunting in Venice is scheduled to open in theaters on September 15.
