20th Century Fox is developing a new big screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s famous murder mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express, with Simon Kinberg, Mark Gordon and Ridley Scott producing.
The novel was first published in 1934 and is the tenth
novel featuring the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
A group of passengers trapped on the Orient Express in
a snow storm with a murdered body and a Belgian detective to keep them company:
Murder on the Orient Express is one of Agatha Christie’s most famous stories.
It's an intricate mystery revolving around a group of characters cut off from
the world and Poirot exhibits not only the power of his little grey cells but
his concern and compassion for humanity.
Albert Finney, Peter Ustinov, Alfred Molina and David
Suchet played the character, with Suchet being by far the better and more
faithful.
I’m a huge fan of Suchet’s work as Poirot and of the
stories, but if they are intended on doing another adaptation, I not another
title in the series? Since this one has been played to death (pun intended).
