The first images from the upcomingMurder on the Orient Expresshave landed online, and it’s a star-studded affair. The 20th Century Fox film is an adaptation of the classicAgatha Christiemystery directed byKenneth Branagh, and theThorandCinderelladirector assembled one hell of a cast to bring it to life. In these first images we see Branagh as Hercule Poirot,Johnny Deppas Edward Ratchett,Michelle Pfeifferas Caroline Hubbard,Daisy Ridleyas Mary Debenham,HamiltonstarLeslie Odom Jr.as Doctor Arbuthnot,Manuel Garcia Rulfoas Biniamino Marquez,Judi Denchas Princess Dragomiroff,Olivia Colmonas Hildegarde Schmidt,Penelope Cruzas Pilar Estravados,Sergei Poluninas Count Andrenyi, andJosh Gadas Hector MacQueen. Phew.
Remember those famous videos of Josh Gad trying to getThe Last Jedispoilers out of Daisy Ridley? Yeah, those were shot during the production of this film. This is a massive starry ensemble, and everyone looks to be having a blast all done up and ready to dig into this mystery.
As the title suggests, the story takes place on a packed train where one of the passengers is murdered. Branagh’s detective then gets on the case to try and figure out what happened and why. This is a big, splashy period picture—something Branagh knows how to do well—and the cast is wildly talented, so I’m eager to see the trailer for this thing.
Check out the first images for now, via EW.Murder on the Orient Expressopens in theaters on November 10th.
