Kenneth Branagh made a big splash with his 2017 film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. He wonderfully played detective Hercule Poirot in the film and will reprise the role in his adaptation of Death on the Nile.
Well, the BBC is now developing their own new Agatha Christie project, which will be an adaptation of the 1936 novel The ABC Murders. The series will be told in three parts and they've cast John Malkovich to take on the role of Hercule, and I have no doubt he's going to be awesome!

I just can't refuse such a polite request. So, I will limit my descriptions to only what is found above that little message on the book jacket. A maniac is working their murderous way through the alphabet, starting with Mrs. Ascher of Andover, followed by Betty Barnard at Bexhill, then Sir Carmichael Clarke of Churston. And, from the very beginning, Hercule Poirot is involved.
I seem to have developed a bit of a gift for choosing books by Christie with plots that have been rehashed in a dozen different ways. This time, it's the...
