Edward Bluemel to play Poirot in new series Hercule

The BBC has announced Edward Bluemel (My Lady Jane) will play Hercule Poirot in new series Hercule. Yes, another Agatha Christie adaptation for the Belgian detective.

The series is an intimate study of Hercule the man and an epic portrait of Britain between the wars. The series takes a magnifying glass to three of Christie’s most celebrated stories, while also charting Hercule’s burgeoning friendship with Captain Arthur Hastings, his early encounters with Scotland Yard’s James Japp, and introducing him to one particular nemesis…

No idea which three. Even as a non-fan, I can name several options. Filming starts soon in Liverpool and the show will come to BBC, presumably next year. Expect a lot of publicity.

Liam Neeson – The Commuter (2018)

In Deutschland reden Bahnfahrer:innen über das Zugfahren fast nur noch in Tonlagen der finalen Verzweiflung. Verspätungen, kaputte Stellwerke, abgerissene Oberleitungen, entnervte Reisende. Der letzte Bahnchef ist inzwischen Geschichte, aber mal ehrlich, dessen Abgang ist auch nur eine Fußnote im Dauerdrama. Wer hierzulande Zug fährt, braucht Leidensfähigkeit. Vielleicht erklärt das, warum ein Film wie dieser auf mich so seltsam befreiend wirkt. Denn er zeigt einen Mann in einem Zug, der tatsächlich fährt. Pünktlich, unaufhaltsam, ohne jede Ausreden.
