First Trailer For Murder On The Orient Express Remake Released

Some movie remakes look cheesy and unwanted, while others look like solid flicks that could possibly improve on the original. Murder on the Orient Express definitely fits into the latter category.

Now, the first trailer for the remake has been released online, so you can see for yourself.

Basically a real-life game of clue, Murder on the Orient Express tells the story of multiple strangers on a train ride. Someone has been killed, no one knows who committed the crime, and that leaves everyone on board as a suspect.

While the mystery and intrigue is definitely a draw to this film, it’s the cast that have people the most excited. Johnny Depp stars alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Daisy Ridley, Josh Gad, Willem Dafoe, Leslie Odom Jr., Kenneth Branagh, and Judi Dench.

Seriously, this is an unparalleled ensemble.

In the highlight of this trailer, a shot introduced each of the major characters who could be a suspect. It was definitely the scene used to pull viewers in, and it makes the movie seem like a one-of-a-kind experience.
