Disney has unveiled a chilling new trailer for Kenneth Branagh’s latest Agatha Christie adaptation, A Haunting in Venice, at CinemaCon.
The ensemble murder mystery, featuring an all-star cast, is set to begin its international rollout on September 14, with North America following on September 15. There has been speculation that the film may even make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
In the movie, Branagh reprises his role as Inspector Hercule Poirot, who is living in self-imposed exile in Venice when he is reluctantly drawn into a séance at a haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, Poirot is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.
The trailer showcased at CinemaCon shows the séance, led by Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh’s medium, as one of the guests seeks to communicate with her deceased daughter. Before the séance, a voice intones, “Anyone who ever lived here falls victim to tragedy.”
As the séance progresses, the guests hear strange noises from the other side. Poirot remarks, “Tonight we are all afraid. We cannot hide from our ghosts. Whether they are real or not.”
The movie boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, and Riccardo Scamarico.
