BRIAN VINER: Kenneth Branagh's last movie adaptation of an Agatha Christie book, 2022's Death On The Nile, was not so much about whodunnit as much as why make it?

Kenneth Branagh, an actor and director from Belfast, talks about his latest Hercule Poirot film. The film depicts Poirot, played by Kenneth, as we've never seen him before - scared, because he is confronted by something he cannot explain: the ghosts of murdered children in a spooky mansion! Kenneth's previous Christie films were adaptations of two of her best-known books, Murder On The Orient Express and Death On The Nile. A Haunting In Venice, the result is quite different.

If you thought you'd seen the end of Hercule Poirot, reconsider it. Agatha Christie's most popular Belgian detective, who has appeared in countless of her mystery books, is back in "A Haunting in Venice," which is set to premiere on September 15th. The film is based on Christie's 1969 book "Hallowe'en Party," which revolves around Poirot, who is embroiled in another murder mystery. The original tale takes place at a Halloween party, though the detective's new version has him appearing at a séance. Kenneth Branagh, coproducer and director of "A Haunting in Venice," is expected to reprise his role as Poirot in the forthcoming film for the third time. Poirot made his debut in the acclaimed 2017 film "Murder on the Orient Express" directed by Russell Poirot. He resurfaced as Poirot in the 2022 film "Death on the Nile," which also had a stacked cast, five years later. In addition, the Branagh trilogy will include major actors such as Jamie Dornan, "Saturday Night Live" comedian Tina Fey, and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.
