This is the sequel to Murder on the Orient Express (2017).

Looks good. But I do hope they change up the story a little bit. I liked the 2017 remake of MOTOE but felt it was a tad too slavish to the original movie's setup.

I enjoyed Branagh's first outing as Poirot, this one looks good too.

So I guess this is still coming out in February?
Disney's 2022 film releases will include not only family-oriented projects like Pixar's Turning Red, but also former 20th Century Fox projects like Death on the Nile and Avatar 2.

I’m still not totally convinced this will ever really come out.

Wonder how this will do, with some of the real life drama surrounding a few of the actors

Probably some for Letitia, as well, with her one-time stance on vaccines/etc. And with the rumours going around that Gal G. wants more money to keep playing Wonder Woman, I can see people using (IF) this movie failing as a reason to comment that she shouldn't risk her good thing at WB/DC Films.

Still looking forward to seeing the movie though. I enjoyed the first one, even wrote fanfiction for it.

The 'stache is still there but the accent seems slightly better this time around.
Still, from 0:46 onwards, the look, angles and music reminds me of:

I'll watch although the 78 version was fine I do wish they;d film one that hasn't been filmed yet - Producersb seem to return to the same handful to film. She wrote 80 something novels. No it is not a "sequel" to MOTOE - they are both standalone stories with the same detective character DEATH COMES AS THE END - set in ancient Egypt at time of Pharaohs - would be my next choice of Christie novels to film for Branagh. Not sure why film's success/failure will be attributed to Gadot - she is one of a dozen star names and the first character to croak |

Not sure why film's success/failure will be attributed to Gadot - she is one of a dozen star names and the first character to croak I still want to see a Murder in Mesopotamia adaptation. There’s something about the solution that’s pretty unbelievable, which I think is why it’s never been made into a movie, but that unbelievable thing isn’t hard to fix. And it’s got all the same cinematic possibilities as MotOE and DotN (in fact, more than MotOE, since it’s not just Poirot questioning people): exotic setting, loads of suspects who all get things to do, visual murders, baffling and visual clues, brilliant sleuth, “WOW!” surprise solution. Unfortunately, Branagh seems determined to remake the Finney/Ustinov films, which as you say don’t really need to be remade. Of course, I’m still seeing this if it ultimately ever does come out.

Yes I do recall that one standing out - (Edit _ I read almost all her novels in my early teens) archaological dig setting? Can't recall the solution but yes - make a movie of that - or DEATH IN THE CLOUDS or PERIL AT END HOUSE or THEY CAME TO BAGDAD. There hasnt been an English Language ROGER ACKROYD movie since 1931 (we got a Russian one in 2002)
