The British actor and filmmaker reprises the role of one of the world’s most famous detectives for the film ‘Death on the Nile’, which will be released on February 10.
if you were attentive at the end of Murder on the Orient Express (2017) then you already have the first clue of the next mystery that must be solved by the relentless investigator Hercules Poirot, a character imagined for the first time in the novels of Agatha Christie (1890-1976) and that under the direction of Kenneth Branagh (Tenet, 2020), who also plays him, enjoys a new popularity on the big screen.
“I have come for Detective Poirot, he is needed on a very urgent matter. I have to take him to Egypt, sir. There was a homicide just over the Nile”, tells the officer who greets him at the train station. Poirot boards his car and they disappear into the snow just before the end credits.
It is Feb. 10 the rest of the events will be revealed with the premiere of death on the nile when a couple’s honeymoon (Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer), apparently idyllic, is abruptly interrupted.
“This is a classic Agatha Christie story., full of characters whose passions and hidden depths are revealed to the public over time and this group of actors manages to give them depth and convey what their characters seem to feel,” Branagh said during an interview. “They are excellent actors who have great sensitivity and a very finely honed comedic sense, which gives rise to the unexpected when these characters get a little darker, a little more dangerous, and a little more unpredictable, and that helps the mystery aspect because it creates doubts in the public about whether, to their surprise, these people could have been involved in the events.
The tape was shot on 65mm film which, according to its director, aactivates a total feeling of escapism towards that scenario. “The depth, the detail, the opportunity to repeat the experience of the human eye is at its best. “Cinema has never been so attractive, vital and exciting about what it can mean to come out of confinement Y come across stories like this. In these difficult times that we have experienced in the last year, a trip down the Nile to jumping into the majestic splendor of ancient Egypt will be an escape that people might love”.
