Directed by Kenneth Branagh who also stars as Poirot, “Murder on the
Orient Express” features a powerhouse cast that includes Judi Dench,
Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Josh Gad, Daisy Ridley
and Olivia Colman who all play a crucial part in solving the elusive
answers to a murder committed who are all considered as suspects while
on board the Orient Express.
Branagh, in recent interviews said he made a conscious decision not to
watch director Lumet’s (1974) version, and that he had advised the cast
also to avoid watching it. “Our goal is to try and find a new approach.
That’s why classic stories are worth retelling,” he said, adding that
“there are some surprises.”
“Murder on the Orient Express” opens November 8 in cinemas nationwide from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
