KUALA LUMPUR – 20th Century Studios’ daring mystery-thriller 'Death on the Nile' will debut April 6 on Disney+ Hotstar. It is directed by and stars eight-time Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh and features an all-star ensemble cast.
'Death on the Nile' is based on the beloved 1937 novel by acclaimed author Agatha Christie. Kenneth Branagh, back as the iconic detective Hercule Poirot, is joined by Tom Bateman, four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders and Letitia Wright.
'Death on the Nile', which reunites the filmmaking team behind 2017’s global hit 'Murder on the Orient Express', is written by Michael Green and adapted from Christie’s novel. It is produced by Ridley Scott, Kenneth Branagh, Judy Hofflund and Kevin J. Walsh. Mark Gordon, Simon Kinberg, Matthew Jenkins, James Prichard and Mathew Prichard serve as executive producers.
Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short.
Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this dramatic tale of love gone wrong features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travellers. And there are enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
Filmed with 65mm Panavision cameras in late 2019, 'Death on the Nile' transports audiences to the 1930s. It recreates many of the locations that served as inspiration for Christie’s glamorous, high society thriller. – The Vibes, March 23, 2022
