All along it was Ridley Scott who plotted to remake Murder On The Orient Express
As life’s luxury train rattled on into the night, producers Ridley Scott and Simon Kinberg slipped stealthily into the Fox studio and stabbed a pen into ink, which they then used to senselessly, mercilessly sign a deal to remake Murder On The Orient Express. Agatha Christie’s classic mystery novel had been sleeping peacefully for several years, only fitfully awakened since its acclaimed 1974 movie version by small-screen adaptations on the British series Poirot and a modernized CBS TV movie in 2001 that starred Alfred Molina and Meredith Baxter, the details of which are too ghastly to recite in polite company.
