20th Century Fox held a promotional tour in Europe in early May for their star-studded retelling of Agatha Christie's classic whodunit Murder on the Orient Express, which opens in November. IGN was among the select media outlets invited to ride aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express with cast member Josh Gad (see my interview with him aboard it below) from Venice to Paris before venturing on to London to watch roughly 15 minutes of unfinished footage from the Kenneth Branagh-directed film.
Branagh also stars as Christie's iconic detective Hercule Poirot. He leads a stellar ensemble that includes: Johnny Depp as Edward Ratchett, a shady American dilettante dealer in art/antiques; Daisy Ridley as Mary Debenham, an English governess; Michelle Pfeiffer as Mrs. Hubbard, an American widow; Penélope Cruz as Spanish missionary Pilar Estravados (changed from Greta Ohlsson in the book); Josh Gad as Ratchett’s secretary, Hector MacQueen; Willem Dafoe as Austrian professor Gerhard Hardman (changed from the book's private eye Cyrus Hardman); Judi Dench as the Russian royal Princess Natalia Dragomiroff; Leslie Odom Jr. as Doctor Arbuthnot (he was Colonel Arbuthnot in the book); Derek Jacobi as Ratchett’s butler, Masterman; Tom Bateman as Bouc, the Orient Express Director; Olivia Colman as Hildegarde Schmidt, Princess Dragomiroff’s maid; Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as auto dealer Biniamino Marquez (changed from the book's Antonio Foscarelli); Marwan Kenzari as coach conductor Pierre Michel; and Sergei Polunin as world famous ballet dancer Count Andrenyi and Lucy Boynton as his wife, Countess Andrenyi. (Have a look at this cast of characters in the slideshow below.)
