You mean like that game THE LAST EXPRESS? I remember Paul Verhoeven was attached to a film adaptation of that at some point.

Haven't heard of that game, but no I mean how the trailer, even tho it is an old timey period piece, had dubsteppy music and text pop-ups about the characters like in a video game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNLuMN2FAMQ&t=33s

The mustache on Kenneth Branagh is just ridiculous, it's silly.

I can see the resemblance, SS didn't have that "HUD feel" to the superimposed graphics. SS was more like a motion comic or music video in that regard. But so you do agree that it's pretty damn off for the movie's tone? It's interesting of course but, yeah. The mustache on Kenneth Branagh is just ridiculous, it's silly. It's pretty painful honestly

It reminded me, at first, of the first season of BBC SHERLOCK with the text floating over phones/Sherlock's mind palace stuff they did. But you are right, it does have that feel. Actually, the train with the pop-up text and their reactions to JD's character, made me think of some of the early video games that were CLUE-style where you had to solve a crime. I'm looking forward to the movie! Good or bad, it'll probably still be kind of a fun movie- period piece, such varied actors, that mustache, etc.

Isn't the killer already known in the countless earlier adaptations as well as the source? I haven't consumed any of those so I have no idea if every incarnation has had a different character be the killer.

I've never actually seen any previous adaptation nor have I read the source material, so I don't have any idea WhoDunnit. I only know who the murder victim is because the trailer gave it away.
