One of the things the the remake of Murder on the Orient Express got right was having a keen eye for the period and that’s the case here, too.
The film was shot on location, so here’s hoping we’re treated to more imagery like that and we can pretend we’re somewhere that isn’t our living room. I’ve always wanted to go to Egypt and since March I’ve really wanted to leave my house. Even more of a treat to see her in period garb in front of an old timey microphone. It’s always a treat to see Sophie Okonedo in a movie.
It’s not as stacked and beautiful as the last movie, but that’s bound to happen when you’re losing Penelope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, and that perennial sexpot Dame Judi Dench. Do we think this will be better than his previous venture Murder on the Orient Express or is it another vanity project? Let’s take a look. The trailer for Death on the Nile, Kenneth Branagh’s latest Agatha Christie remake, arrived recently and we haven't discussed. Please welcome new contributor Josh Bierman.
