Recently, the new version of the film "Massacre on the Nile" produced by 20th Century Fox has exposed a new Chinese character trailer. In the trailer, a murder takes place on a cruise ship on the Nile, and various characters appear one after another, and the great detective Poirot begins to investigate.
The film "Massacre on the Nile" is based on Agatha Christie's 1937 novel of the same name, and was put on the screen by British director John Gillemin in 1978, becoming the most classic version. Kenneth Branagh, the director of the new version of Massacre on the Nile, just directed murder on the Orient Express in 2017, based on Agatha's other novel of the same name, which grossed $350 million worldwide at a cost of $55 million. The commercial success of the previous game may be an important reason why Fox gave him the directing tube of "Massacre on the Nile".

The new version of "Massacre on the Nile" once again continues the luxurious star lineup, "Wonder Woman" Gayle Gadot, Amy Hammer, "Fire Kisser" Ruth Leslie in "Game of Thrones" and so on. However, there is one "star" that has not yet been publicly unveiled – the famous 128 ct Tiffany Yellow Diamond.
128-carat legendary Tiffany Yellow Diamond debuts
In the movie, the diamond is owned by Lynette, a wealthy woman played by Gail Gadot, but one night, she is shot in her sleep, and the valuable yellow diamond is missing. In this trailer, the 128-carat Tiffany yellow diamond does not show its true face.

The rare yellow diamond, which was unearthed in South Africa in 1877 and weighed 287.42 carats, was reportedly bought for $18,000 by Tiffany's founder, Charles Tiffany. In 1878, the yellow diamond was cut in a 128.54 ct pillow shape in Paris, with an unprecedented 82 facets, while traditional diamonds are generally 58 facets, which gives the Tiffany yellow diamond an incomparable brilliance, worth more than $30 million, becoming the treasure of Tiffany's town store.
"The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is a priceless symbol of Tiffany's highest artistic appreciation and craftsmanship standards, rarely appearing outside its coffers," said Reed Kraków, Tiffany's chief art officer. ”
To coincide with the film's October 23 release in North America, Tiffany & Co. will promote the partnership in stores including Next Door, A.D.D.'s flagship Tiffany & Co. store, and Beverly Hills Boutique in Los Angeles. After the film's release, viewers can see the dazzling yellow diamond in the scenes of Gayle Gadot and Amy Hammer.
Audrey Hepburn and Lady Gaga have worn it

Another important reason why this Tiffany Yellow Diamond became famous is that in 1961, the famous movie star Audrey Hepburn briefly wore it in a promotional photo based on Truman Capote's novel of the same name, "Breakfast at Tiffany's". In the film, Hepburn plays the heroine of New York, a socialite who admires money and material things, and wears an evening dress every morning to look at the jewelry outside the window of the Tiffany (the early translation of "Tiffany") jewelry store, while taking a small bite of bread, this picture has become a classic. Outside the film, Hepburn's elegant image complements the nobility of Tiffany's yellow diamonds, making Tiffany yellow diamonds famous in this battle.
Lady Gaga wore the Tiffany Legendary Yellow Diamond Necklace at the 91st Academy Awards.
In 2019, at the 91st Academy Awards, Lady Gaga was nominated for Best Actress for the academy award for the first time for her film "A Star Is Born" and won the Best Original Song Award. On the same day, she wore the Tiffany Legendary Yellow Diamond Necklace at the awards ceremony, becoming the first wearer of the legendary 128.54 ct necklace after Audrey Hepburn.
