INTERNATIONAL star Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh will be part of the ensemble line-up in ‘A Haunting in Venice’, directed by Kenneth Branagh.
Production on the supernatural thriller inspired by Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party, is set to begin next month.
The film also features a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green. It will begin shooting at Pinewood Studios outside London and on location in Venice.
The cast includes Oscar winner Branagh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Michelle.
‘A Haunting in Venice’ will open in cinemas in 2023.
The film is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve’. The terrifying mystery features the return of celebrated sleuth Hercule Poirot.
Now retired and living in self-imposed exile, 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.
Branagh says, “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.”
‘A Haunting in Venice’ is the studios’ third film based on a novel by Christie. It reunites the team of filmmakers behind 2017’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and 2022’s ‘Death on the Nile’. – The Vibes, October 11, 2022
