According to The Daily Mail (via Variety), Jolie is circling the role of widowed socialite Harriet Hubbard, portrayed by Bacall in the earlier film. As previously reported, Branagh will play detective Hercule Poirot. Based on the 1934 novel by Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express unfolds on a train that gets caught in a heavy snowstorm overnight. The next morning, the passengers discover a businessman has been murdered. Evidence suggests the killer is still on board, and as Poirot gets to work on the case, several of the passengers fall under suspicion.
