Irish Eye on Hollywood:
Kenneth Branagh’s Murder
on the Orient Express
By Tom Deignan, Contributor
August / September 2015

Branagh is hoping the fourth time is a charm, as Christie’s tale of death on a train has been thrice made already. No word just yet though on a cast or release date for Branagh’s latest. ♦
