“How many great stories are great tragedies?”
Death on the Nile, Twentieth Century Studios’ daring new mystery-thriller, contains a star-studded cast and looks to be a visual feast.
The trailer dropped today and we’re already hooked.
This tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy is directed by five-time Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh and produced by Ridley Scott, Mark Gordon, Simon Kinberg, Kenneth Branagh, Judy Hofflund and Kevin J. Walsh.
Hercule Poirot’s holiday aboard a glamorous river steamer in Cairo turns into a thrilling search for a murderer when a picture-perfect honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against a picturesque landscape of desert vistas and majestic pyramids, the story features a cosmopolitan group of smartly-dressed travelers and indulges in enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.Â
Death on the Nile reunites the filmmaking team behind 2017’s global hit Murder on the Orient Express. Branagh, who directs and stars as Hercule Poirot, is joined by an all-star cast of suspects, including: Tom Bateman, four-time Oscar® nominee Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders and Letitia Wright.
Death on the Nile opens in U.S. theaters October 23, 2020.
