Agatha Christie’s mystery novels have been amused and thrilled audiences for about a century. And now that Kenneth Branagh has decided to recreate the magic of some of her novels, the pandemic had to step in between and delay his latest attempt. How awfully sad.
Death On The Nile is an upcoming mystery thriller film based on the 1937 novel of the same name by British author Agatha Christie. It is also a sort of a sequel to Murder On The Orient Express that was released in 2017.
Kenneth Branagh directed the film while also serving as a producer along with Judy Hofflund, Simon Kinberg, Ridley Scott, Mark Gordon, and Kevin J. Walsh. Michael Green wrote the screenplay while Scott Free Productions, TSG Entertainment, Kinberg Genre and The Mark Gordon Company produced the film.
