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.
