The story is set against the backdrop of three generations of an eccentric family that lives together in a large house. When the multi-millionaire patriarch is found murdered, it seems that everyone has reasons to kill him.
Academy Award-winning “Gosford Park” writer Julian Fellowes Tim Rose Price and LaBute wrote the adapted script.
At last report Julie Andrews, Matthew Goode, Gemma Arterton, and Gabriel Byrne were signed on to star.
“It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Agatha Christie’s work on the big screen. Crooked House is one of her best and most surprising murder mysteries. It’s the perfect title with which to bring a whole new audience to Christie, while at the same time delivering a wonderfully suspenseful experience to her legions of existing fans" says LaBute.
Joe Abrams Rory Gilmartin and Marc Samuelson will produce the film
Production kicks off this Fall in London.
House is one of Christie's few stories that has yet to have either a film or television adaptation.
