The first trailer for the star-studded Agatha Christie adaptation ‘Death on the Nile’ sets sail

Following 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express, director Kenneth Branagh is adapting another classic Agatha Christie mystery with the upcoming Death on the Nile.

Branagh returns as the famed detective Hercule Poirot, who is tasked with investigating a murder at sea aboard a cruise ship on the Nile River. The all-star cast includes Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Letitia Wright, Russell Brand, and Annette Bening.

From the official synopsis:

Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.

Death on the Nile sails into theatres on October 23, 2020. Check out the trailer below.
