Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Jude Hill Join Kenneth Branagh in Agatha Christie Mystery ‘A Haunting in Venice’

Branagh is back as detective Hercule Poirot and is directing the thriller for 20th Century Studios.

Kenneth Branagh has found the suspects for his latest Agatha Christie adaptation, A Haunting in Venice.

Branagh is back starring as detective Hercule Poirot and returns as director for what will be the third Christie mystery movie from 20th Century Studios.

This time around, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Jude Hill and Kelly Reilly have been recruited for the all-star ensemble, with Emma Laird, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan and Riccardo Scamarico also on the call sheet.

Production is set to begin Oct. 31, Halloween Day, which is fitting since Haunting is inspired by the 1969 Christie novel, Hallowe’en Party.

That story saw the mystery set in motion when a 13-year old girl, who claimed she witnessed a murder when she was younger, is found dead in an apple-bobbing tub. The studio described the adaptation, written by Michael Green, as an “unsettling supernatural-thriller” and shared its logline: “Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.”

Character details for the list of thespians were not revealed.

“This is a fantastic development of the character Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise,” said Branagh in a statement. “Based on a complex, little known tale of mystery set at Halloween in a pictorially ravishing city, it is an amazing opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we are relishing the chance to deliver something truly spine-chilling for our loyal movie audiences.”

Branagh directed and starred in Christie features Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and Death on the Nile (2022).

Judy Hofflund is back as a producer. Exec producers include Louise Killin and James Prichard, along with filmmakers Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg and Mark Gordon.

For Dornan and Hill, Haunting reunites them with their director of Belfast, Branagh’s sweet drama that won an original screenplay Oscar earlier this earlier amid several other nominations, including best picture.

Yeoh is enjoying a career resurgence thanks to Everything Everywhere All At Once, the heady multiverse-centric thriller from filmmakers the Daniels.

Fey is coming off appearing in Only Murders in the Building and voicing a starring role in Pixar’s Soul.

Laird had a key role in TV’s Mayor of Kingstown while Reilly is one of the stars of Yellowstone.

Allen appears in Hulu’s Rosaline, Cottin appeared in Call My Agent, Khan was in Michael Bay’s 6 Underground, and Italian actor Scamarcio is starring in the upcoming Caravaggio’s Shadow.

Intrigante, questo franchise appassiona e con questo terzo capitolo siamo di fronte a un racconto praticamente inedito. Per coerenza dovrebbero titolarlo Assassinio a Venezia per il nostro mercato. Chissà.

Il titolo Assassinio a Venezia ci piace molto! speriamo usino quello!

pensiamo che se l'Agatha Christie Universe (AGU) continuerà nel quarto film vedremo Miss Marple... dopo 3 film con Poirot il quarto avrà la Marple... di solito fanno così per i franchise...

[Daydreamer]

Sinceramente spero in una scena post credits oppure ad un cameo di Mrs Marple introduttivo già proprio in questo film.

Riprese anche in Italia, a Venezia... ecco cosa riporta il sito The Knowledge Online (che è uno dei più affidabili per le produzioni inglesi):

Kenneth Branagh's A Haunting in Venice readying UK and Italy shoot

20th Century Studios' A Haunting in Venice, starring Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey and Michelle Yeoh, is set to start production next month in the UK and Italy for Disney.

Set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, A Haunting in Venice is described as a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot.

Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.


The studio's third film based on a novel by Agatha Christie, will be directed by Academy Award-winner Branagh, from a screenplay written by Oscar-nominee Michael Green.

It will shoot at UK's Pinewood Studios and on location in Venice in November.

Branagh returns as Hercule Poirot alongside an ensemble cast announced by 20th Century Studios on 10 October: Kyle Allen (Rosaline), Camille Cottin (Call My Agent), Dornan (Belfast), Fey (30 Rock), Jude Hill (Belfast), Ali Khan (6 Underground), Emma Laird (Mayor of Kingstown), Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone), Riccardo Scamarico (Caravaggio’s Shadow), and Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).

In a statement, Branagh said: “This is a fantastic development of the character Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise. Based on a complex, little known tale of mystery set at Halloween in a pictorially ravishing city, it is an amazing opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we are relishing the chance to deliver something truly spine-chilling for our loyal movie audiences.”

Steve Asbell, president 20th Century Studios, added: “We are enormously privileged to continue our long collaboration with the incomparable Sir Kenneth Branagh and couldn’t be more excited by the bold new creative direction Ken, Michael, and the rest of the filmmaking team have taken with this latest film.

"We also remain grateful to James Prichard and the rest of our friends at Agatha Christie, Ltd., for their partnership and for once again entrusting us with, as Poirot modestly calls himself, ‘probably the greatest detective in the world.’”

The whodunit reunites the team of filmmakers behind 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and 2022’s Death on the Nile and includes Branagh, Green, producer Judy Hofflund, and executive producers Louise Killin and James Prichard, along with filmmakers Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg, and Mark Gordon.

Affascinante! Sicuramente un progetto interessante, a partire dal setting meraviglioso.

è veramente horror come trailer...
è vero che è Poirot e sarà un giallo ma qui la storia è creata a tinte horror... non ci dispiace affatto... è un po' straniante perché è completamente diverso dai precedenti due film, anche a livello di fotografia... però è molto molto efficace! incuriosisce molto!

Come immaginato, da noi il film si intitolerà "Assassinio a Venezia". Ecco il TRAILER ITALIANO.

Qualcuno l'ha visto? ha qualche venatura horror e non solo da giallo/thriller... qualcosa di diverso per Poirot...

[Daydreamer]

Visto una settimana fa.
A parte l'irritazione cringe per una festa di Halloween a Venezia, che, nel 1947, c'entra come i cavoli a merenda: potevano benissimo ambientarlo durante il carnevale, tanto le maschere veneziane, o simili, compaiono comunque, il film è d'atmosfera e con scene inquietanti. Non parlerei affatto di horror, non si vede una goccia di sangue, ma si allude, pur non mostrandola, ad una violenza maggiore.
Sicuramente Branagh ha guardato a film, considerati horror, come The Conjuring, perchè il genere è giallo soprannaturale, tipo i film di M. Night Shyamalan.
A parte che, ad un certo punto sono andato in trance, ma non credo per demeriti del film, ma per mia stanchezza, il film coinvolge abbastanza ed ha un decorso singolare, con dei momenti interessanti. Ma è innegabile che la storia a cui si riferisce, in particolare il reato con relativo disvelamento, è più debole e confusa dei primi due film.
Branagh e il cast sono bravi (nella Yeoh ho finalmente visto il potenziale per un'ottima Madame Morrible in Wicked!) e grazie alla location veneziana elevano il film ad un livello discreto. Menzione speciale anche per Tina Fey, in un ruolo diverso e fastidioso. Il duo della sua scrittrice con Poirot è stato frizzante.
Devo comunque rivederlo su Disney+ non appena disponibile.

In arrivo su Disney+ il 22 novembre.
