Crooked House movie update

I noticed some news items recently about the forthcoming Neil LaBute film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1949 standalone novel Crooked House, which reminded me of reporting a similar story back in 2012. Amazingly that was the same film, which goes to show how long these things can take.

Four years ago, Julie Andrews was set to star, but it looks like Glenn Close will now be taking the role of Lady Edith. Christina Hendricks will play Brenda, Gillian Anderson is Magda, and Honor Kneafsey plays young Josephine.
