Kenneth Branagh Moves on From Poirot to Direct ‘The Disturbance of Madeline Hynde’

The Big Picture Actor-director Kenneth Branagh has found his next directorial venture. The Hercule Poirot actor is set to write and direct The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, Deadline reports. The movie has also bagged topline talent in The Bikeriders star Jodie Comer. While the feature is being described as “psychological thriller” the plot details and log line are kept tightly under wraps. More details are expected when the film will begin production in August in the UK.

The expectations from the feature are very high given Branagh’s last directorial feature, Belfast, won him an Oscar and with a power packed performer like Comer, another compelling original story seems to be on the chart. The movie reunites Branagh with Belfast producers Tamar Thomas, Becca Kovacik, and Laura Berwick. Also producing are Matthew Jenkins and Maximum Effort’s Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau.

The Talents Behind ‘Belfast’ Close Fans love Branagh as the Agatha Christie sleuth Hercule Poirot, whom he portrayed in three films for Disney. He last acted in and directed A Haunting in Venice, the final installment in the franchise. He is also an impeccable director having helmed the likes of Thor, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein among others.

Comer will be soon seen in Jeff Nichols’ upcoming drama, The Bikeriders, alongside Tom Hardy and Austin Butler. The movie is based on the 1967 photo-book of the same name by Danny Lyon depicting the lives of Chicago-based motorcycle gang, the Outlaws MC. She’ll be next starting production on director Danny Boyle’s newest installment of the highly anticipated, 28 Years Later trilogy, alongside Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell.

With compelling performers like Comer and Branagh’s enigmatic vision the movie is going to be one to watch out for. Currently no release date or window is available for The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates.
