‘A Haunting in Venice’ Conjures New Official Trailer

The movie adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1969 Halloween mystery novel Hallowe’en Party has been adapted in a new feature film under the title of A Haunting in Venice, and the full official trailer was released online today.

Set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, A Haunting in Venice is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

Reuniting the team of filmmakers behind 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile,” the film is directed by Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh (Belfast) from a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green (Logan), based upon Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party.

The ensemble cast includes Kenneth Branagh in his third film as Hercule Poirot, along with Kyle Allen (Rosaline), Camille Cottin (Call My Agent), Jamie Dornan (Belfast), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Jude Hill (Belfast), Ali Khan (6 Underground), Emma Laird (Mayor of Kingstown), Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone), Riccardo Scamarico (Caravaggio’s Shadow), and recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).

A Haunting in Venice will open in theaters nationwide on September 15.
