First-Look At Michelle Yeoh In “A HAUNTING IN VENICE” From Director Kenneth Branagh

The unsettling teaser trailer and poster for Kenneth Branagh’s frightful “A Haunting in Venice,” which was just shown to convention goers at the 2023 CinemaCon Convention in Las Vegas, are provided below.

On September 15, 2023, a chilling supernatural thriller starring Oscar® winner Kenneth Branagh as renowned detective Hercule Poirot and based on Agatha Christie’s “Halloween Party” will be released in theaters; all over the country.

In addition, Branagh revealed that the film’s score will get written by Hildur Gunadóttir, the renowned Icelandic musician who most recently scored “T.R.” and “Women Talking” and who has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, a BAFTA, and an Emmy for her work on “Joker” and “Chernobyl.”

The terrifying mystery “A Haunting in Venice” is set on All Hallows’ Eve in eerie post-World War II Venice and features the reappearance of renowned detective Hercule Poirot. Poirot, who is now retired and exiled in the most glamorous city in the world, reluctantly goes to a séance held in a dilapidated, eerie palazzo. The detective is drawn into a dark, secretive world when one of the guests is murdered.

The film got directed by Kenneth Branagh and features a screenplay by Oscar® nominee Michael Green (“Logan”), based on Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party. It reunites many of the filmmakers from 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile.”

Kenneth Branagh, Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg, and Louise Killin are the producers; James Prichard, Mark Gordon, and James Prichard are the executive producers.

Branagh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Ricardo Scamarcio, and most recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh are among the outstanding actors who portray a cast of unforgettable characters.

Hildur Gunadóttir, a cellist, singer, and composer from Iceland, defies categorization and disregards conventional generic boundaries. Her virtuosity, adaptability, and originality have helped her carve out a special place for herself on the contemporary music scene.

As a result of becoming the first female composer to ever win the Academy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA awards in the same season, she is currently based in Berlin and experiencing unprecedented global acclaim for her work. The record for the most accolades a composer has ever received in a single season has also been broken by her.

For movies like “Tom of Finland,” “Journey’s End,” and 20 episodes of the Icelandic TV series “Trapped,” she has composed the scores. She and Sam Slater collaborated on the “Battlefield 2042” video game soundtrack for Electronic Arts’ wildly popular Battlefield series.

A Society of Composers & Lyricists Award got given to the music. After enrolling in the Reykjavik Music Academy and starting to play the cello as a young child, Gudnadóttir went on to study music composition and new media at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and Universität der Künste Berlin.

Mount A (2006), Without Sinking (2009), Leyfu Ljósinu (2012), and Saman (2014) are among her four critically acclaimed solo albums.
