There’s nothing quite like international mystery to keep our escapism entertained, especially given the horrendous year we’ve had.
And it looks like the latest remake of a classic Agatha Christie mystery is set to do precisely that.
Enter: Death On The Nile.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the Harry Potter alum also stars as a lead in the film playing Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Based on the novel of the same name, the film follows Poirot while he’s vacationing aboard a luxurious river cruise when a couple’s honeymoon is suddenly cut short.
And while the nail-biting plot is something to look forward to, the film has partnered with Tiffany & Co. to feature an array of iconic jewellery pieces—including the jaw-dropping 128-carat yellow diamond that Lady Gaga wore to the 2019 Academy Awards.
