Jamie Dornan as Leopold Ferrier's father.
Hercule Poirot, now retired, must solve the murder of a guest at a séance he attended. Branagh reprises his role as Hercule Poirot, alongside Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Michelle Yeoh.Ī Haunting in Venice is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 15, 2023. The film is a sequel to Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and Death on the Nile (2022). It's difficult to see how this dramatization can be improved upon.A Haunting in Venice is an upcoming American supernatural mystery thriller film directed by Kenneth Branagh, based on Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie. He is not Poirot's mental equal by any means, but admirable in his sympathy, kindness and general embodiment of Englishness, and we can understand Poirot's affection for Hastings. The supporting actors were also very fine, especially Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings - whereas in the stories Hastings, who is usually the narrator, remains a rather sketchy character, here he becomes a genuine person. The writers were responsible for fleshing out the bare bones provided by Christie's stories, but they did it in such a way that the filmed versions flow naturally and seamlessly. Some of the credit for this also goes to the fine writing in the series. Suchet's skill as an actor was such that he was able to turn a rather flat, implausible character (and even fans of Agatha Christie admit that her characters are pretty two-dimensional) into a complex, eccentric but essentially believable person. Every detail of the character was perfect, from the stilted, pedantic delivery to the exquisitely fastidious grooming. Suchet's performance as the fussy little Belgian detective was a joy. Mystery fans were fortunate in the late 1980s to have no less than 3 definitive television performances to enjoy: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, and David Suchet as Hercule Poirot.
