I just don't see this period piece with characters speaking in funny accents appealing to the younger crowd.
The funny accents were because of the younger crowd. Agatha Christie never featured a Cuban in the novel, the movie does due to todays demographics.

Why do we see all of your posts twice?

Quit hitting post again just because
you don't think it went thru the first
time.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I've asked for help in the computer thread on this issue. I only hit 'post' once.
Its driving me crazy.
If I delete ONE email in my Hotmail account the one below it also gets deleted.
If I hit the Blue Back Arrow in Explorer, I go back TWO pages instead of one.
If I hit Add To Cart, I get already added to cart.

I swear if I sneeze, my mouse clicks on something.

I didn't even know a remake was out
Make money? If I was investing, I would look to something more appealing to a younger generation
I'd be surprised if it earns money. Maybe done on small budget? Surprised this got remade


It's a reasonably small budget for a film like this

(Branagh directed films that were distributed worldwide)
$543.50 Cinderella 2015
$449.30 Thor 2011
$135.50 Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit 2014
$112.00 Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1994
$4.90 Sleuth 2007
$4.70 Hamlet 1996

Branagh directed Frankenstein on a $45 million budget in 1994, and it probably made money.
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) is a $55 million budget which is a lot less than Frankenstein over 23 years.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

It's "fine." Good production design and cinematography, well directed by Kenneth Branaugh. My main problem with the movie is.... why? It's been done so many times before. This version doesn't really add anything new.


Daisy Ridley?

They should re-remake "The Lady Vanishes." I saw the remake with Angela Lansbury and Cybill Shepherd.

I had that happen to me once. I got new batteries and reset the mouse with a pin. If that doesn't work then buy a new mouse.

if you can find it, there are some adjustments you can make to your mouse, such as how fast you click for it to sense a double click - look for 'settings' in the start up menu

You need a country mouse, not a city mouse. Country mouse is slower.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
