Branagh’s players weren’t able speak on behalf of the moody chamber piece due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.caught up with veteran producer Judy Hofflund to discuss Fey’s journey to leading lady status in a film from this era, as well as the future of Branagh’s mustachioed sleuth.
Judy Hofflund: The second film was sadly released during COVID time, but I think that it did so well on streaming that it was a real boost of confidence for [Disney]. We had already hired Michael Green to get started on writing the third. I think that they I think they believed in Ken and Agatha Christie and the whole franchise. They were excited about doing something that was really different. This is a post-WWII Venice — eerie, scary, stormy and everything unfolds in one night.
The film is certainly claustrophobic, particularly the seance scene, led by Michelle Yeoh, which kicks the plot into gear.
