Disney’s Cruella
Disney’s live-action film focusing on the life of 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil may or may not be on hold following lead actor Emma Stone’s Spice Girls-related injury last month. What is more certain is that renowned casting director Lucy Bevan is attached to the project and casting now. Given the code-name Lockstitch, the big-budget feature begins shooting in the UK from September to December. 

Death on the Nile

Starring Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Tom Bateman, and Letitia Wright, the film also sees Branagh reprise his role as detective Hercule Poirot from 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express.
