Murder on the Orient Express

《东方快车谋杀案》

dōng fāng kuài chē móu shā àn

Director: Kenneth Branagh

Actors:  Daisy Ridley, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kenneth Branagh, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Josh Gad

China Release Date: Friday, November 10, 2017

导演: 肯尼思·布拉纳

主演: 约翰尼·德普 / 黛西·雷德利 / 米歇尔·菲佛 / 佩内洛佩·克鲁斯 / 威廉·达福

中国大陆上映日期: 2017-11-10（周五）

The trailer for this looks excellent, but will the movie deliver? Another same day release with the USA, we'd say this is another must-see film for November, but of a very different genre. And this star-studded cast is just humongous.

Plot: A lavish train ride unfolds into a stylish & suspenseful mystery. From the novel by Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot's Murder on the Orient Express tells of thirteen stranded strangers and one man's race to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes again.

We've all read the story, maybe even seen the other films. Our fingers are crossed for this one.

《雷神》和《灰姑娘》的英国导演、莎翁戏剧大师肯尼思·布拉纳（Kenneth Branagh）即将为20世纪福克斯公司翻拍阿加莎·克里斯蒂（Agatha Christie）的侦探悬疑小说《东方快车谋杀案》（Murder on the Orient Express）的消息。

福克斯宣布，肯尼思·布拉纳不仅将担任导演，同时还将出演片中主角——比利时大侦探赫克尔·波洛（Hercule Poirot）！波洛是阿加莎笔下最著名的角色之一，曾出现在她33部小说之中。 

1934年出版的小说《东方快车谋杀案》描写了发生在著名的“东方快车”上一起离奇命案，每个人都有作案的嫌疑，比利时大侦探波洛（Hercule Poirot）经过缜密的、抽丝剥茧的逻辑分析，终于让案情大白于天下。 

据悉，新版的《东方快车谋杀案》将由莱德利·斯科特（Ridley Scott）、赛蒙·金伯格（Simon Kinberg）、马克·高顿（Mark Gordon）联合出品，《银翼杀手2》的编剧迈克尔·格林（Michael Green）将负责剧本的改编。 

如果《东方快车谋杀案》取得票房成功，福克斯还将把更多波洛破案的故事搬上大银幕。

It's a good month for superheroes! But didn't we just see Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman? Oh well, we're not complaining. DC Comics has a lot of pressure riding on this one.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat.

But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes - Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash - it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

We are placing bets on how far into the movie Superman will be resurrected. #nospoilers

Yes, we know this one came out in January, but this is China on the other side of the world. It takes a little longer to get things over here. If you haven't already downloaded it, this is a great police drama.

On April 15, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts, Police Sergeant, Tommy Saunders is pulling security duty on the annual Boston Marathon when the Tsarnaev brothers strike with their homemade bombs in an act of terrorism. In the resulting chaos as the wounded are cared for, Saunders and his comrades join forces with the FBI to get to the bottom of this attack.

As the investigation continues, the Tsarnaev brothers realize that the authorities are close to identifying them and attempt to flee the city to continue their fanatical mayhem. To stop them, a police manhunt is performed that would have bloody confrontations and a massive dragnet shutting down the City of Boston to make sure there is no escape from the law.

影片聚焦于2013年发生的波士顿马拉松爆炸事件，是继《伦敦陷落》《深海浩劫》之后，又一高口碑灾难巨制，该片真实还原了在波士顿恐袭发生后，FBI、当地警方在102小时内全力缉捕真凶，阻止了犯罪分子下一步攻击行动的英勇事迹。

We really have no idea what this movie is doing in this list... First of all, it's a rarely seen foreign horror film. Secondly, it came out in 2013. 😂

Following in the footsteps of her late fiancée, who drowned under mysterious circumstances, Rebecca (played by Katie Savoy) and her film crew are in China making a documentary about the Chinese Ghost Festival. There, she learns of a story about a concubine Chan Ju Chi who is violently murdered and thrown into a well by the head concubine Ping Wei (Played by JuJu Chan) within the secret grounds of a palace.

Legend has it that the Chan Ju Chi has risen to become a "jiangshi", killing innocent people in the hope of taking over their bodies. Things take a turn when a worker is attacked in a decrepit well within an old palace. Rebecca tries to piece together the mystery behind the legend as one by one the people she knows are gruesomely murdered.

Note: In English and Chinese
