Kenneth Branagh's 'A Haunting in Venice' Brings Poirot Back to Cinema

In "A Haunting in Venice," Kenneth Branagh steps back into the shoes of Hercule Poirot in a chilling tale set in post-World War II Venice on Halloween. He finds himself entangled in a mysterious situation when he goes to a séance at an old palazzo, where a murder takes place. The movie, which Branagh directed, is adapted from Agatha Christie’s "Hallowe'en Party," with a screenplay by Michael Green, an Oscar nominee. The cast features talents like Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, and Michelle Yeoh. Branagh, along with Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, and Simon Kinberg, produced the film, set to hit theaters on September 14 under 20th Century Studios. Branagh sees it as a thrilling evolution for Poirot and the Christie legacy.
