Murder on the Orient Express is glamorous, extravigant and is gooing to cost aLOt of money to make.

In 1974, a movie with likes of Sean Connery, Richard Widmark, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, and Anthony Perkins plus many more  got together and made a movie :Murder on the Orient Express.

So there is Murder on the Orient Express

casting: Appointment With Death

                                   

This novel has been made into two adaptions- one in 1988 and another in 2010ish. I have seen the one in 2010 only, and barely remember it,so im going with my own idea of this novel adaption.

In 1938, while holidaying in Jerusalem, Hercule Poirot meets the detestable Mrs. Boynton, the cruel matriarch of the Boynton family. He, it appears, is not the only one who detests her, as he overhears someone saying: "You see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" But when Mrs. Boynton is found on some ancient ruins, victim of a lethal injection, Poirot only has 24 hours to solve the crime

The victim::::::

MRS. EMILY BOYNTON-a ruthless sold-hear, ex-prison gaurd that has three step-children, that want her gone.

Sissy Spacek. I like her , I think she could play these roles very easy and shes getting older, so that helps.

The Suspects:::::

RAYMOND BOYNTON-the good-looking man that steps up to his mother finally.

James Franco.I like Franco, so hes got the part

CAROL BOYNTON-the one that hates her the most out of all the children.

Charlize Theron.I don't know much about her, but I know that she could be good.

LENNOX BOYNTON- the child that wants his mother out of the way, so he can live his life.

Ewan McGregor. I like Ewan, I think hes a terrific actor.

NADINE BOYNTON- Lennoxes wife. Hates his mother with a passion.

Carey Mulligan. She is thwe unknown in the movie.

JEFFERSON COPE-the Boynton familys attorney and friend. He wants to take Nadine away from Lennox.

Kevin Spacey. Hes the American man. Smart, witty, and has an attorney type to me.

GINERVA BOYNTON- the pushover of the children, she takes most of her mothers crap.

Mischa Barton.

DR. RENEE GERARD-A French psychologist in Jeruslam, he is Sarahs mentor and advisor, training her.

Liam Neeson. He doesn't have to have a French accent because hes one of the biggest actors out there today.

SARAH KING-an American medical student that is observing Dr. Gerards methods.

Rachel McAdams. So what, she can be a 33 year old student. Plus I didn't give her a role in Death on the Nile as Linnet. Its kind of making-it-up to her.

LADY WESTHOLME-an American-English woman in a high society club, that doesn't want Mrs. Boynton to tell everyone her secret.

Susan Sarandon.the great American actress, there is a twist to this character that has to be played by someone good.

the investigators:::::::::

COLONEL CALBURY-An old British ex-soldier that is now the Jerusalm ambassador from Transjordania. Old friend of Poirots also.

Michael Caine.I said old, you got old. 

 HERCULE POIROT-A Belguian man that is a investigator that never gets a holiday

Kenneth Branagh. I like Antonio and he is the ideal Poirot to me.

With good music, a great script and director this movie may make the top 10 box office for 2012.

casting: Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun

                                 

Another Agatha Christie movie. I know, I know. Big all-star productions with chimey music and exotic places and characters are movie stars not characters.

In 1941, while vacationing on a exclusive resort island, a famous stage actress is murdered and Hercule Poirot is one of the resorts guests ao now he has to solve the crime before the police and the scandal attached to the resort.

Became a movie in 1982 starring Peter Ustinov, Roddy McDowall, Sylvia Miles, Diana Rigg, Maggie Smith, Denis Quiley, Nicholas Clay, Colin Blakely and Sir James Mason. The film recieved positive reviews.

Here is my version of Agatha Christies Evil Under the Sun:

                                      THE VICTUM:

ARLENA STUART -MARSHALL:the famous stage actress (spoiled little princess, or a word im not aloud to say that starts with b).

Kristin Scott Thomas.Shes perfect for the role.

                                          THE SUSPECTS:

LINDA MARSHALL:Arlena's step-daughter and Kenneths daughter. She hats Arlena with a passion.

Julia Winter. she was Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

REX BREWSTER:Arlenas number one fan. He kind of obsessed with her, and writes a book about her that she doesn't want published. Hes really, really out of the box and bizarre for a man in 1941(kind of homo)

Tim Roth.

DAPHNE CASTLE:the owner of the resort. He used to be a stage actress and didn't make it had an affair, got a resort not to tell about it, and falls in love with Kenneth Marshall.

Kate Beckinsale

SIR HORACE BLATT:a tycoon with anger problems that Arlena dumped for Kenneth.

Hugh Laurie

ODELL GARDNER:a rich Broadway producer that wants Arlena as the next plays star.

Burt Reynolds. Hes getting older so giving him something to do. Plus he is THE American actor

MYRA GARDNER:Odells younger wife. loud and wants things her way, but will do anyhting  for anybody that asks.

Kate Capshaw.Shes famous but out of the spotlight to. She would be good at Burt Reynolds young wife.  

CHRISTINE REDFERN:a young mousy wife to Patrick. will do anything to keep her man.

Emily Blunt.

PATRICK REDFERN:a young  buff good-looking man that likes to flirt with Arlena, much to his wifes disaproval

Chris Hemsworth.the mans big and buff and likes to sleep around, just like Patrick.

KENNETH MARSHALL:a nice, rich businessman that is husband to Arlena. He falls in love with Daphne Castle.

Colin Firth. Colin is playing himself . They are both nice and kind and fell in love with other women.

                                          THE INVESTIGATOR:

HERCULE POIROT:A Belgian private investigator that knows his way around peoples minds.

Kenneth Branagh .Hes one of the best actors around now-days.

Thats my version of Evil Under the Sun.
