Oh my gosh, I wish they would quit already! Is there nothing else out there? This is a great story and most of the movies are well done. Well, some of them anyway. I my opinion once you see David Suchet as Poirot, well, you just don't want to see anyone else. For me, after reading all the stories more than once, he IS Poirot. I haven't looked closely but I would guess that this is yet another Kenneth Branaugh produced movie.

I just reserved the book at the library. I don't believe I've ever seen it or read it!

I would love to see a film about Louis Daguerre, considered by many to be the father of photography.

Boston, there was a great show about Vivian Maier- she was a wonderful photographer who kept all her work private. Nothing was made available until after her death. Very interesting woman.

what is the story about, other than someone getting murdered on a train?

Lynnie, it is one of Agatha Christies great murder mysteries. And yes, her stories have been made with numerous actors playing her Poirot. Interested to see this re- make. Has anyone seen it yet or maybe a better question is when is it coming out?

The movie is set to come out on November 10. I love the story and anxious to see the new movie. I don't mind remakes. Sometimes they are better than the old ones.

I agree with this. One example is Father of the Bride- the remake with Steve Martin is so much better than the original.
But I also think they should come up with new stories as well! It seems there are a lot of remakes.
I read a ton and many I've read would make great movies in my mind but it's often hard to cram a long book into a 2 hour movie.
