30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked

11. Murder On The Orient Express

Release Date: 22nd November

Billed As:

The latest adaptation of Agatha Christie's most famous novel, starring an embarrassment of riches on the cast. There's a good chance you know what happens and whodunnit, but the art is always in the telling.

Hype:

Any opportunity to see Kenneth Branagh direct should be grasped as enthusiastically as every opportunity to see him act, and rather delightfully, the latest adaptation of Murder On The Orient Express allows for both of those treats.

He's joined by a cast that positively drips with talent, including Judi Dench, Josh Gad, Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer and Daisy Ridley (plus lots more). That list is almost enough to make the material inconsequential, but it's one of those classic stories that commands attention no matter how many times it's told.

And if it introduces a newer audience to the delights of Christie's work, then more's the better.
