The Making Of.. Murder On The Orient Express

The big screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s bestselling novel is out in cinemas now, with an all-star cast including Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, Derek Jacobi and Johnny Depp. Kenneth Branagh directs and stars as Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who’s tasked with investigating the murder of a passenger aboard a train travelling from Istanbul to London.
