Annette Benin
Following "Murder on the Orient Express", Foss once again adapted the classic novel of the famous British novelist Agatha Christie, and Kenneth Branagh continued to direct and star, playing the bearded detective Polo in the new version of "Massacre on the Nile". The original 1978 film, a classic Hollywood suspense and mystery, is full of plot reversals, telling the story of Polo investigating a murder on a luxury cruise ship on the Nile, but several suspects die one after another, deepening the mystery of the case.
Kenneth Branagh
At the end of "Murder on the Orient Express", The great detective Polo, played by Kenneth Branagh, receives the news of a tragic crime on the Nile after solving the case. But in the original version, Polo only went to Egypt after the Nile case occurred. From this point of view, the story of the new version of "Massacre on the Nile" will have many changes, and the new role played by Annette Bening can also illustrate this.
Like the original, the new cast is also very strong, "Wonder Woman" Gayle Gadot, Amy Hammer ("Call Me By Your Name"), Judy Comer ("Kill Eve"), Lititia Wright ("Black Panther") and so on have been confirmed to join. Gadot will play the heroine Linette in the film.
Written by Michael Green, the screenplay is staggeringly large-budget Hollywood, and in 2017, wolverine 3: The Deadly War, Alien: Covenant, Blade Runner 2049, Murder on the Orient Express, and American drama "American Gods" were released in one fell swoop.
Filming of the new version of "Massacre on the Nile" will begin at the end of September this year and is currently scheduled for release in North America on October 9, 2020.
