UGH. The dread Kenneth Branagh is apparently in talks to direct a film adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. I can't stand Branagh, a pedestrian director whose work has always been inexplicably over-praised—and, of course, it remains to be seen if this source material is high-brow enough to bring out his "auteur" side, or popular enough to bring out his (even hackier) mass-market persona.
