Overview
- The casting, disclosed Monday ahead of the Cannes film market, introduces the project to buyers through Fortitude International.
- Vincent Cassel co-stars as a retired Belgian police detective who enters the case in a nod to Hercule Poirot.
- Bertie Ellwood directs from Ernesto Foronda’s script, adapted from Jared Cade’s book on Christie’s 1926 disappearance.
- The film is in pre-production with plans to shoot in the U.K. this summer, with Range Media Partners handling U.S. rights and Fortitude leading international sales.
- At Cannes, producers typically secure financing and territory deals, so further casting and distribution announcements could follow the market meetings.
