Fox recently fast-tracked Death On The Nile, a sequel to Kenneth Branagh‘s Murder On The Orient Express. Ken will be back as star/director and screenwriter Michael Green (Blade Runner 2049, Logan) is returning to adapt the novel by author Agatha Christie.
There is also an expectation that Kenneth will reunite with cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos, who has worked with him previously on a string of his movies such as Thor, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Cinderella, Murder On The Orient Express, and Artemis Fowl.
We are under the impression Nile will have a production start in early to spring 2019 considering the release date the studio has set, but we currently don’t have production dates for the murder mystery.
Fox has set Nile’s release date going head-to-head with Star Wars: Episode IX next year on December 20th, 2019.
Couldn't find a thread for this even though it was first announced a while ago.
It really is miraculous how many of my threads, with actual news, disappear
i would not be surprised if mods deleted some of the threads you’ve posted, because you do post a lot. maybe this one is an exception, but not every single movie that comes out needs a separate thread - they rarely gain a lot of traction, but sort of end up “drowning” out other threads and it becomes hard to find other stuff and idk

Looking forward to this though. Branagh didn't top Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express for me but I really did like Branagh's Poirot.
I see that it was first announced in late November last year. Isn't that around the time where they had to rollback the server an entire month or something and hundreds of posts were deleted? That's probably why it's gone right?

Gal Gadot has been set to star in Death On the Nile, the latest Agatha Christie adaptation set up at 20th Century Fox with Kenneth Branagh directing. The project came together last year as the studio was finding success with its Christie ensemble Murder on the Orient Express. The pic ended up grossing $352.8 million worldwide with Branagh at the helm and also playing master detective Hercule Poirot.
JODIE COMER, so good as Russian super assassin Villanelle in first-rate BBC drama Killing Eve (you can watch all eight episodes on BBC iPlayer), is in early talks to join the all-star cast of Kenneth Branagh’s version of Agatha Christie’s Death On The Nile.
Armie Hammer is also in discussions to join the project.
