Hercule Poirot is back again, with a mystery that may be the most frightening yet in A Haunting in Venice.
Adapted from a story by Agatha Christie, Kenneth Branagh reprises his role as the famed sleuth, finding his way to a seance in Italy. When someone is murdered, it’s up to him to figure out who. Or…what?
Branagh also returns behind the camera while surrounding himself with stars Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Dornan. It’ll be Hercule Poirot versus the supernatural, which should make for an interesting shake-up from the other adaptations we’ve seen.
A Haunting in Venice is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Branagh, Michelle Yeoh, Kelly Reilly, and Jamie Dornan. It will be released in the US in theaters on September 15th. For international release dates, click here.
