A Haunting in Venice: Jamie Dornan and Kenneth Branagh star in new trailer

The new trailer for Jamie Dornan and Kenneth Branagh's latest project together has been released.

A teaser for A Haunting in Venice dropped on Wednesday and revealed the new Hercule Poirot movie will hit theatres on September 15 this year.

The 20th Century Studios film is based on Agatha Christie's novel 'Hallowe'en Party' that was first published in the UK in 1969 and will see Belfast director Kenneth Branagh become famed detective Hercule Poirot again.

A Haunting in Venice is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, and is described as a "terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot".

Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

Directed by Belfast-born Branagh, the movie also stars Holywood man Dornan, Belfast star Jude Hill, recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan, Emma Laird , Kelly Reilly, and Riccardo Scamarcio.

Jamie Dornan shared the trailer on his Instagram account writing: "Cancel all Sept 15th Plans! Excited to share….#Ahauntinginvenice."

In the trailer, the séance is led by Oscar winner Yeoh as one of those present seeks to hear the voice again of her daughter who met a tragic end a year prior. Before this, it’s intoned, “Anyone who ever lived here falls victim to tragedy.” Dornan make a very fleeting appearance in the trailer.
