20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for Murder on the Orient Express, the newest adaptation of Agatha Christie’s acclaimed mystery 1934 novel.

It pioneered a genre that would go on to inspire countless other murder mysteries, including The Thing, Clue, and Twin Peaks.
The story follows Belgian detective Hercule Poirot as he tries to solve a murder case aboard the titular train and he must decipher who among 12 suspected passengers is the culprit.
The film’s decorated cast includes Kenneth Branagh (who is also serving as director), Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr., Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley. Ridley Scott (The Martian, Alien: Covenant), Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past), and Mark Gordon (Steve Jobs) serve as producers along with Branagh and features a screenplay from Michael Green (Blade Runner 2049).
