Daisy Ridley, Michael Pena, Judi Dench and More Cast in MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
A ton of A-List celebrities have found their way onto the film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient Express. THR reports Daisy Ridley, Michael Pena, Judi Dench, and Michelle Pfeiffer have all signed on as the cast for the film, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh. They're joining the previously-cast Johnny Depp, along with Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr., Tom Bateman, Derek Jacobi, and Sing Street's Lucy Boynton.
This isn't the first time the novel has made its way to the silver screen, as the popular story has been redone several times in different ways on television, theater, and on film. One of the more popular examples is the 1974 film featuring Sean Connery.
Sounds like one of those films they release around the holidays that families can enjoy, but with all this star power, let's hope it's a little more ambitious than that!
