This will be a completely separate project. This new film will not be connected to those Hercule Poirot mysteries. Kenneth Branagh directed 20th Century’s adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, and is currently working on Death on the Nile. The project will be developed by Seberg screenwriters and husband-and-wife writing partners Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel.ĭisney, and producer Shawn Levy ( Stranger Things) plan on keeping the story in its pre-World War II setting, which is the period when Christie wrote the novel, but the film will have a fresh take on the story.Ĭhristie’s novel tells the story of “10 seemingly disparate individuals invited to an isolated island, with the house guests murdered one by one during the course of their stay.” So If you are looking for a perfect afternoon read of cosy crime, then you would do well with this.20th Century Studios and Disney are producing another Agatha Christie adaptation and this one is for the classic novel And Then There Were None. It is not hard to see how this has become one of Agatha Christie's best loved books, selling over 100 million copies. It is a lesson in psychology and one at which Christie excels. They become more mistrustful, defensive and suspicious of each other. And it is fascinating to watch their actions as more murders occur. Some feel remorse and guilt, others nothing at all. At first glance, many of them are respectable pillars of society, but each harbours a terrible secret. It all adds to the oppressive atmosphere and the feeling of impending doom for our characters.

Dark and foreboding and preventing escape from the island. The landscape almost becomes the eleventh character.

I spent most of my time wondering who was next and who on earth the murderer was. But is was nice to appreciate Agatha Christie's writing and plot-making without some of her best loved characters to rely on. Over my time on the blog, I'm sure you have become aware that I do love my Miss Marple books and am starting to enjoy the Hercule Poirot novels as well.

Over the years there have been various movie and TV adaptations and in my opinion none of them come close to the book, which is a measure of how good the book actually is. Who is next? As the next murders are committed, and as the island is empty of people, could the murderer be one of the ten guests? My Thoughts The murder ties in with the rhyme and one of the figurines has disappeared. Then one of the party is murdered and a mysterious message is played accusing each of the party of a different and heinous crime. On the dining room table sit ten small, white figurines. The host is absent and a children's rhyme 'Ten Little Soldiers' hangs in each room detailing the deaths of ten little soldiers.

Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock off the Devon coast. Read the complete list of Agatha Christie novels by seriesĪnd Then There Were None is a standalone Agatha Christie novel and does NOT feature either Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. And so Easter Sunday found me happily sat in bed reading my new Agatha Christie book munching on a Malteaster Bunny.

Chris bought me Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None' and Chris received from me an Ursula le Guin book. And of course there was lots of reading and watching some cosy movies. We spent part of the weekend doing a bit of DIY, complete with a flying visit to Wickes for supplies. As the UK is still in lockdown, we were unable to go anywhere apart from our usual walk around the duck lake. How was Easter for you all? Wherever you are and if you celebrated it or not, I do hope you managed to have a nice break.
