20th Century Studios has released the teaser trailer for “A Haunting in Venice,” the unsettling supernatural thriller based on the Agatha Christie novel, “Hallowe’en Party.”
Directed by and starring Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh as famed detective Hercule Poirot, “A Haunting in Venice” is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve and is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.
The film features an ensemble cast of unforgettable characters, including Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen (“Rosaline”), Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”), Jamie Dornan (“Belfast”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jude Hill (“Belfast”), Ali Khan (“6 Underground”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Kelly Reilly (“Yellowstone”), Riccardo Scamarcio (“Caravaggio’s Shadow”), and recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”).
“A Haunting in Venice” reunites many of the filmmakers behind 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile,” with a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green (“Logan”). The producers are Kenneth Branagh, Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, and Simon Kinberg, with Louise Killin, James Prichard, and Mark Gordon serving as executive producers.
“A Haunting in Venice” will open in theaters nationwide on September 15, 2023.
