Death on the Nile: Release Date, Plot, and Updates!

The turning of Agatha Christie’s novels into featured movies has been breaking box offices for a long time, The Murder on the Orient Express is an example. And hence, with the popular demand for a glimpse of Detective Hercule Poirot one of time, another Christie’s novel has been turned into a film and is said to be the sequel of The Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile. The American mystery thriller film has been directed by Kenneth Branagh (the one playing Poirot once again), with a screenplay by Michael Green. The film is the third screen adaptation of Christie’s novel, following the 1978 film and a 2004 episode of the television series Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Death on the Nile is scheduled for release in the United States on October 23, 2020, by 20th Century Studios. Now, let’s see whether the pandemic permits the release or whether it might take the refuge of the OTT platforms to reach to the audience.

@trailertrack do you think we’ll ever have a trailer for #DeathOnTheNile sometime soon, or will Disney/FOX change their release date (in my theory)? pic.twitter.com/59fF8ZLmmK

Hercule Poirot is a prominent character in the world of detective fiction and has been loved by the bibliophiles over the years. And keeping this in mind, Kenneth Branagh has decided to make a franchise of Poirot in the world of cinema, which was stated by him in an interview back in 2017.

“I think there are possibilities, aren’t there? With 66 books and short stories and plays, she (Christie) often brings people together in her own books so innately that she enjoyed that. You feel as though there is a world — just like with Dickens, there’s a complete world that she’s created; certain kinds of characters who live in her world — that I think has real possibilities.”
