Murder On The Orient Express: 7 Reasons To Hop Onboard
4. They're Already Providing Clues For Audiences
The filmmakers behind Murder on the Orient Express are inviting fans to be active participants this time around. In a clever poster campaign launched ahead of its November premiere, they're dropping hints about the all-important murder.
Striking images line up the primary suspects and urge prospective viewers to identify the culprit. Rather than just highlight the A-list cast, the poster designers pay careful attention to the heart of the movie, its time-tested story.
The production's tie-in website, CluesareEverywhere.com, showcases promotional pages rife with delicious tidbits. It features information on all thirteen suspects, inventive crime scenes with pieces of evidence visitors can click on, and all of the smartly crafted posters. Their thorough and entertaining website not only introduces the story to newbies but creates an intelligent game for Christie admirers.
In addition to the photographs, the marketing team made sure that the trailer piqued the interest of potential audience members. The preview was released in June but its sharp visuals and dialogue were highlighted to start conversations up until the movie's release. The professions and statements of each character were done with deliberate consideration. Many fans continue to debate the trailer's content whether they've read the novel or not.
Several artistic teams are pulling out all the stops for Murder on the Orient Express to stay on the right track to success.
