Trailer for Agatha Christie adaptation Crooked House

October 4, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming mystery drama Crooked House. Directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner, the film is based on Agatha Christie’s 1949 detective novel and stars Max Irons, Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Christina Hendricks, Terence Stamp, Stefanie Martini, Julian Sands, Amanda Abbington, Christian McKay, and Honor Kneafsey; watch it below after the official synopsis…

In Agatha Christie’s most twisted tale, the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a wealthy patriarch is investigated by spy-turned-private-detective Charles Hayward (Max Irons), who is lured by his former lover to catch her grandfather’s murderer before Scotland Yard exposes dark family secrets. On the sprawling estate, amidst a poisonous atmosphere of bitterness, resentment and jealousy in a truly crooked house, Hayward encounters three generations of the dynasty, including a theater actress (Gillian Anderson), the old man’s widow 50 years his junior (Christina Hendricks), and the family matriarch Lady Edith de Haviland (Glenn Close).

Crooked House will air on Channel 5, either later this year or early in the New Year.

Originally published October 4, 2017. Updated November 21, 2017.
