Murder on the Orient Express



Based on the classic Agatha Christie novel of the same name, and following along the tracks of numerous televised adaptations, Murder on the Orient Express (2017) sees Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, arrive in the form of an impressive-moustache-wielding Kenneth Brannagh, who also directs. After boarding the legendary train for a break from his work, Poirot meets a colourful assortment of characters (equally-colourful is the train-hoggingly-enormous cast that plays them). But when an avalanche stops the train its tracks, the passengers wake to find that one among them has been murdered in their cabin. With “probably the greatest detective in the world” on board, so begins an investigation.

Rowling that spawned eight films, a theme park, a studio tour, countless merchandising lines, spin-off books and so much (Potter)more, there's no argument that Harry Potter is the most magical franchise in cinematic history. And now, five years since the last instalment, that spell remains as unbreakable as ever, with the new West End play Harry Potter and The Cursed Child filling theatre seats quicker than a Quidditch match, its respective book flying off shelves faster than any snitch, and now, the release of the eagerly-anticipated spin-off film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
