20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell revealed in March 2022 that a script for a third Hercule Poirot film had been written by Michael Green, with Kenneth Branagh set to return as director and star. The film will see a lesser known Poirot story be the basis for the plot.[3][4] The film was confirmed in October 2022, with Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Kelly Reilly and Michelle Yeoh among the cast.

Filming

Filming began on October 31, 2022,[5] with production occurring between Pinewood Studios and Venice.[6]

Post-production

In April 2023, the first trailer for the film was released alongside the names of various characters and the cast members that would be portraying them.[7] Branagh described the film as a "supernatural thriller", rather than a full-fledged horror film.[8]

Music

Hildur Guðnadóttir was revealed to be composing the score for the film in April 2023, replacing Patrick Doyle.[9]

Release

The film will be released on September 15, 2023.[1]
