Things are changing in the world and it feels like a lot of movies will actually make it to the theaters. However, that doesn’t mean that I will be heading to the theater. I am just way too afraid.
But Death on the Nile does look like it is going to be visually amazing. And it has a great cast.
In the movie, “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.”
I don’t envy anyone having to market a movie that has Armie Hammer in it. Just saying.
The movie stars Kenneth Branagh, Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders and Letitia Wright.
