 "Death on the Nile" to photographed in Panavision System
652. April 2020 in70mm.com newswire/Rumor Mill "Death On the Nile" -- Kenneth Branagh's eagerly-awaited next 70mm film is working through post-production. Word is that a well-polished (but probably not final) version is being seen by a few key executives at in-house screening rooms (via DCP.) It will be a while yet before the 70mm prints will be done, since there are always some final "tweaks" to things like the score and editorial concerns, etc. But it's still (as of now) on track for an October 9, 2020 opening. One staffer said it looked really good, which is a real tease for those of us who must wait several months (at least) to see it. • Go to The 70mm Rumour Mill 2. October 2019 Production on Twentieth Century Fox’s "Death on the Nile", a mystery-thriller based on the book by Agatha Christie, has begun. The film will shoot at Longcross Studios outside London and on location in Egypt. Death on the Nile reunites the team of filmmakers behind the 2017 global hit "Murder on the Orient Express", based on another celebrated Christie novel. "Death on the Nile" will be released on October 9, 2020. Five-time Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh returns as director and once again stars as famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. He is joined by an all-star cast of suspects which includes: Tom Bateman (who reprises the role of Bouc from Murder on the Orient Express), four-time Oscar® nominee Annette Bening (Captain Marvel), Russell Brand (Ballers), Ali Fazal (Victoria & Abdul), Dawn French (French and Saunders), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name), Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Emma Mackey (Sex Education), Sophie Okonedo (The Secret Life of Bees), Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) and Letitia Wright (Black Panther). The screenplay for the film, adapted from Christie’s 1937 novel, is once again written by Michael Green with Ridley Scott, Mark Gordon, Simon Kinberg, Kenneth Branagh and Judy Hofflund returning as producers. Matthew Jenkins and James Prichard return as executive producers. In Death on the Nile, Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian adventure aboard a glamorous river steamer descends into a terrifying search for a murderer when an idyllic honeymoon is shattered by violent deaths. This sinister tale of obsessive love and its murderous consequences plays out in an epic landscape of danger and foreboding, with enough shocking twists and turns to leave audiences unsettled and guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
Twentieth Century Fox will release “Death on the Nile” on October 9, 2020. |
