I see Jessica Lange or Sigourney Weaver working better as the loquacious Mrs. Hubbard and it's a pity she already there since she'd be a perfect Countess Andrenyi. Love the idea of Angela Lansbury but I would be thrilled to see either Charlotte Rampling or Julie Christie, Branagh managed to coax her into doing Hamlet so why not this?, take on the role.Īngelina is too young for Mrs. Love Judi Dench but just no, give someone else a chance. Or I could see Kirsten Dunst doing better by this than Hildegarde. If Craig does it why not pair him up with real life wife Rachel Weisz. There's no way a career officer like Colonel Arbuthnott would even consider marrying a woman of color and reside in England during the period the film is set. Daniel Craig, Ben Whishaw and Derek Jacobi all make great sense.Įmayatzy Corinealdi is a fine actress but she doesn't work within the confines of the part. How about Emayatzy Corinealdi? If only because we’ve imagined her in many parts since falling hard for her in Middle of Nowhere (2012). This is the most romantic character and requires an actress with subtle but deep and available emotions. Mary Debenham (Vanessa Redgrave), a teacher who might be more intimate with the Colonel than she lets on - this is the role Chastain played in 2010. Lansbury and Dunst in war of one liners? Gimme.Ĭolonel Arbuthnott (Sean Connery), an officer in the British Indian Army- they are always being compared as to who’s the best Bond, let’s see who's the best Colonel Arbuthnott. Kirsten Dunst could have lots of fun with this part, imagine Torrance Shipman a bit older, a bit more bitter and German. Hildegarde Schmidt (Rachel Roberts), the Princess' personal maid - they are obviously going younger with this version since Jolie is more than a decade younger than Bacall was when she played Mrs Hubbard. And there’s no doubt she would be fun delivering haughty line readings, but may we suggest another Dame? Angela Lansbury. Princess Natalia Dragomiroff (Dame Wendy Hiller), an elderly Russian royal - this is the role that Branagh is probably earmarking for his current favorite leading lady, Dame Judi Dench. Who would you cast? Our suggestions for some of the characters after the jump. Hopefully lots of entertaining actors will sign up. And everyone has a secret of course so the parts are juicy and fun and not too taxing on the actors. The story lends itself to an all star cast as basically every character gets an intro, one big scene and gets to participate in the finale.
#Murder movie cast tv
It’s good casting as the part calls a star with lots of presence.Įven though I haven’t read the Christie novel, I have seen the movie version and a 2010 British TV version with Jessica Chastain right before she hit it big. Angelina Jolie was announced as Mrs Hubbard, an American loquacious socialite, played in 1974 version by Lauren Bacall.
The novel has been adapted several times, most famously into an Oscar winning film in 1974 by Sidney Lumet and an all star cast, led by Albert Finney as Poirot. He will direct and play the lead part of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot who’s investigating a murder that happens on the famous train as it is making its way across Europe. Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is being remade by Kenneth Branagh. Angela Lansbury's son Anthony Shaw, was attached as the director and producer or Executive Producer for all four "Murder, She Wrote" TV Movies.Murtada here.In a recent episode of the ABC daytime talk show The View, Lansbury announced that she hopes to make another Murder, She Wrote television film in the near future, if her son, Anthony Shaw, can find a suitable story The will contains the clues to finding a secret treasure, one that will require an already strained family to work together in order to solve the mystery. Jessica travels to Ireland, where she attends the reading of an old acquaintance's will. Jessica Fletcher uncovers a shocking link between her family history and the death of a slave in the 1860s. Jessica Fletcher puts her sleuthing skills to work at a writer's conference after a Russian author is found dead. Jessica is warned away by an FBI agent while following clues to Agua Verde where a woman who left her purse apparently lives. Four were produced and aired over the course of six years Which led to an interest in producing TV Movies. For the final four episodes, CBS returned the show to its previous time slot and ratings improved. This was due to the fact that CBS changed the time slot in which Murder, She Wrote had proven to be so popular. Murder, She Wrote was cancelled after ratings had dwindled during the shows twelth season.
