Rebecca is based on Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel of the same name, and it follows a newly married young woman trying to start a new life at her husband’s family estate. The only obstacle to their happiness is his dead wife Rebecca, whose memory haunts the house long after her death.

This isn’t the first adaptation of Maurier’s iconic novel. It was brought to the big screen on several occasions in the past, most famously by Alfred Hitchcock. His 1940 adaptation starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine won two Oscars, including best picture.

Wheatley’s adaptation could also be an Oscar contender after it premieres on Netflix on October 21st. In addition to James and Hammer, it also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Sam Riley, and Ann Dowd.

Agatha Christie’s famed novel starring Hercule Poirot will be brought to life with Kenneth Branagh once again playing the Belgian detective.

As with Poirot’s previous big screen encounter, Murder on the Orient Express, the Dunkirk star will also be assuming directing duties.

The cast of the upcoming film, which is set aboard a glamorous ship, has now been announced as Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright.

“Crimes of passion are dangerously sexy,” said Branagh in an official statement. “Agatha Christie has written a riveting story of emotional chaos and violent criminality and Michael Green has once again written a screenplay to match. With a cherished group of long-time artistic collaborators and a brilliant international cast, it is truly a pleasure to join Disney, Fox and Agatha Christie, Ltd. in bringing this daring thriller to the big screen. There are significant new twists, an awe-inspiring desert landscape and a chance to celebrate big screen entertainment in glorious 65 millimetre celluloid!”

Death on the Nile is expected to film on location in Egypt, with a release date of October 9th, 2020.

So it only makes sense that two of cinema’s favorite lovebirds find themselves there.

We were introduced to Elio and Oliver when Call Me By Your Name was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film in 2017.

So adored was the feature, that many have hoped for a sequel — including its stars, Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

Director Luca Guadagnino has now discussed the possibility of CMBYN 2, which he says may be set in Paris.

“I’m asking myself if in the new chapter of the life of Elio, Oliver, and the Perlman family we should let them pass by Crema or not… but I don’t think so,” the filmmaker told Bad Taste.

“Let’s give a small scoop: the sequel (but I don’t like to call it a sequel, their story is a ‘cycle’) will take place in Paris. And it begins with Elio crying. With this light shining into his eyes… and we wonder: are we still where we left him (in front of the fireplace)? No: he’s crying because he’s watching the ending of one of the best movies of the eighties, Paul Vecchiali’s masterpiece Once More. Absolutely consistent with the character: Elio loves Paul Vecchiali’s cinema… that is melancholic like him.”

Let’s hope that Guadagnino’s vision comes to fruition.

Following the massive success of Murder on the Orient Express, which earned $352 million worldwide, Kenneth Branagh will be returning in Death on the Nile as Hercule Poirot, as well as to direct.

The sequel, based on the Agatha Christie novel, sees the Belgian detective trying to solve a murder while on holiday in Cairo.

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot has already signed on to the project as Linnet Doyle, a rich socialite married to Simon Doyle.

It is possible that Mr. Doyle could be played by the latest star to join the film — Armie Hammer of Call Me by Your Name.

Death on the Nile is expected to be released in December 2019.
