[Goldmund]

Funny or Die's production values going through the roof.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Ha, strange choice of song at the end.
I'm all in for a new Orient Express but Brannagh's accent was really strange, I didn't recognize his voice at all at first.

 

[BruceCLea]

Ugh. Imagine Dragons

 

[crimzonflame]

Ive seen the original so are they changing who did it in this one?

 

[strafer]

balls

 

[zelas]

Modern day Clue eh? Music used at the end of the trailer was jarring.

 

[Erevador]

Looks dreadful.

Just watch the Lumet movie.

 

[Mr Cola]

Felt like a tv movie

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks interesting. I might see it.

And no wonder there was a murder, the guards were playing the Switch!

Spoiler

Ok,
I'll show myself out now..

 

[BetterThanNothing]

Title sounds like a Wes Anderson flick.

Looks pretty dope, love whodunnits. Hope it's as self aware as it seems.

Oh, it's a real movie. Got some watching to do.

 

[Road of Ease]

This is a Poirot story, isn't it?

Who's playing him?

 

[Peru]

Title sounds like a Wes Anderson flick.

Joke post?

 

[Spiritwalker]

Lol that trash music at the end

 

[Oersted]

Ive seen the original so are they changing who did it in this one?

The original is the Christie novel. You mean the 70s movie?

This is a Poirot story, isn't it?

Who's playing him?

Branagh, who also directs

 

[ShadyK54]

Interested to see this one!

But that damn Imagine Dragons song, I swear to god. No more.

 

[Raxus]

Title sounds like a Wes Anderson flick.

Looks pretty dope, love whodunnits. Hope it's as self aware as it seems.

It is a classic Agatha Christie Novel.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Modern day Clue eh? Music used at the end of the trailer was jarring.

Very jarring.

I wonder if they'll just use the killer from the book or if they'll do something different.

I figured that something like Murder on the Orient Express *really* doesn't need to be redone, but with a cast like this...color me interested.

Edit: even with spoilers about the original it's probably unnecessary speculation at this point.

This is like the 8th adaptation of the book of the same title.

 

[Inferno313]

Fuck Johnny Depp

this looks generic.

wtf with the Imagine Dragons?

 

[KarneeKarnay]

balls

.

 

[Red Liquorice]

This is a Poirot story, isn't it?

Who's playing him?

Watch the trailer?

 

[Akahige]

Dat stache, followed by Imagine Dragons got good laugh out of me.

 

[Ragnarsson]

Loved the whole thing... except that song at the end. I mean, Imagine Dragons, who the hell thought that was a good idea?

 

[crimzonflame]

The original is the Christie novel. You mean the 70s movie?



Branagh, who also directs

Yes the movie.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Fuck Johnny Depp

this looks generic.

wtf with the Imagine Dragons?

They're in every other trailer these days. I blame Geoff Keighley.

 

[butalala]

Derek Jacobi and Kenneth Branagh? Looks like Hamlet and Claudius together at last!

And if Branagh is directing, I'm definitely interested.

 

[scarlet]

Read the book when I was a kid, was pleasantly surprised with the reveal.

 

[Arttemis]

Looks like everyone else was confused by the music choice, too. I'm skeptical.

 

[Inferno313]

They're in every other trailer these days. I blame Geoff Keighley.

For something like an action movie, it works well enough. I don't like their music, but that's an example where it makes sense.

It doesn't fit at all, here.

 

[NealMcCauley]

The music and mustache make me hope the movie is somewhat self-aware about itself.

 

[red731]

Lol that trash music at the end

Which intern's idea was that. Srsly.

Still GOAT

Was watching it all the time.

 

[Patterbits]

This is a Poirot story, isn't it?

Who's playing him?

Not David Suchet and that's all I really need to know.

 

[Doffen]

Kenneth Branagh is good, but Poirot will always be David Suchet to me.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Fuck Johnny Depp

this looks generic.

wtf with the Imagine Dragons?

spoilers if you haven't read the book:

Spoiler

Apparently Depp is cast as Mr. Rachett, which would make him the victim, if that sways you at all.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Never read the book, but I'm really interested now. That was a cool way to introduce the suspects. Does Johnny Depp not count among them, because he has "I'll kill you" written all over his face.

 

[Lulubop]

38% RT, bank on it

 

[NealMcCauley]

Pretty sure he's the corpse if he's not among the suspects.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

What were they thinking with that song choice at the end? Yuck

 

[Mato]

Nothing works about this for me. Worst of all is the casting and music.

Oh and the killer is

Spoiler

everyone

[hobozero]

Trailer thought process:

Hmm, looking ok... little overbearing... Derek Jacobi, awesome...

OK maybe I will watch thiHOLY SHIT MUSTACHE!!


Also: are there actually people who don't know who the killer is in the novel? It's one of the most famous mysteries ever written.

 

[peakish]

Sidney Lumet's version is awesome. This trailer ... IDK, I'm too invested in Lumet's movie to be fair to it. The mustache is good.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Hmm...

I like it, The cast is amazing.

It's also all shot on 65MM so, that will look amazing come November.

 

[More_Badass]

Didnt even know Agatha Christie wrote it till this thread. Don't know anything about the story besides the general premise

 

[tim.mbp]

Interesting to see what they add to the story. The Suchet one added a stoning setup scene and really played up his Catholicism.

 

[Blader]

Well shit, that trailer really went off a cliff in the last 5 seconds.

 

[Peccavi]

Don't think I can accept a Poirot that isn't David Suchet. Even though his take on this story wasn't good.

 

[Doffen]

They're in every other trailer these days. I blame Geoff Keighley.

I think the Wonder Woman trailer used one of their song really well.

[see5harp]

Ugh. Imagine Dragons

Man I don't even listen to that band and at the end I literally said to myself "why did they pick that dumbass imagine dragons sounding song?"

 

[Ohwiseone]

WOW THAT MUSTACHE.

I really do love the idea of 85% taking place on that train.


I do love me some Kenneth Branagh though.

That song choice is.. Bad at the end.
