BRANAGH'S 'DEATH ON THE NILE'

Gal Gadot will play a rich heiress on the cruise

As much as I wanted to love it, Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express was a ghastly bore for me, but it does not mean the new film in the series won't be better. As 'Deadline' reports, Gal Gadot has just joined him in his new adaptation of DEATH ON THE NILE in which, beside directing, he will again play Hercule Poirot. The writer is, sadly, the same as in Orient Express, but unlike that one, where a murder happened on a train, in this one Poirot is investigating a murder on a boat. Gal Gadot will be rich heiress Linnet Ridgeway Doyle who was enjoying that luxurious cruise when the murder happened only to continue again when the suspects start dying one by one.The movie should be out for New Year's Eve 2019! Just a month before that you will be watching Gadot in Wonder Woman sequel.
