Jonathan Entwistle, whose previous credits include The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay With This, and Hello, Tomorrow!, is set to direct a modern reimagining of Agatha Christie’s crime novel, Endless Night.
According to Deadline, Studiocanal—the company behind Paddington in Peru and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy—is putting the production together, which already has a script from Emily Siegel.
Deadline describes the movie as following “an ambitious twentysomething hustler who ends up entangled in a web of blame and deception after he becomes romantically involved with a volatile American heiress and her assistant.” That description matches up fairly well with the conceit in the 1967 novel, which Christie wrote in only six weeks, whereas her usual books took her between three to four months(!).
The book, unsurprisingly, has been adapted previously, including in a 1972 film of the same name, and an Agatha Christie’s Marple adaptation that stayed close to the book while also adding in Christie’s Miss Marple, a popular character found in several of her other novels. The story has also recently been picked up for a television adaptation, with the BBC and BritBox International announcing in May 2025 that their next project would be Endless Night, led by Sarah Phelps (Dublin Murders).
Entwistle’s project is still in its early days, so no news on casting or when it will make its way into production, much less premiere on a screen near you. [end-mark]
