"That woman called the spirits – and they answered!" 20th Century has unveiled the teaser trailer for A Haunting in Venice, the next Agatha Christie murder mystery thriller from Kenneth Branagh. This was already filming late last year just after his most recent Christie movie was released - following Death on the Nile (2022) and Murder on the Orient Express (2017). The unsettling supernatural thriller based upon the novel "Hallowe'en Party" by Agatha Christie and directed by & starring Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh as famed detective Hercule Poirot, opens in theaters this September. In post-WWII Venice, Poirot, now retired and living in his own exile, reluctantly attends a seance.
