James Pritchard talks A Haunting In Venice.
Summary A Haunting In Venice is the perfect movie for spooky season combining Agatha Christie's classic murder mystery with haunted house horror. Living as a recluse in Venice Hercule Poirot has stepped away from being a detective when an old associate Ariadne Oliver drags him back in. Teased by the possibility of proving a medium at the center of a séance is a fraud. However, when one of the guests is killed he'll need to use his deductive skills to figure out who the killer is.
James Pritchard: I think one of the things that Ken and Michael Green, the writer, have brought to these films is a kind of depth to Poirot that possibly isn't in there in the books. In Death On The Nile, for instance, they actually go into a backstory which is an invention of Michael and Ken's. They kind of go through his first World War experiences and actually sort of use that to show where the mustache came from.
James Pritchard: I think it's very simple. It's the stories. The stories, she had a genius with story. She had a genius for plot. The great thing about great stories is that they stand the test of time. They don't age, they don't go out of fashion, and you can adapt them in different ways. You can do different things with them. In this film we've set the story in Venice, whereas originally it was set in an English country village and it works.
I think the main thing he wanted to do was something totally different. He wants to play with genre. He wanted to add in elements of horror, and I think he felt that Hallowe'en Party was a great launchpad for that. He wanted to take some liberties with the story and he has taken some liberties with the story, but I think it is all a better for that. I think what he has done is create an incredible movie.
James Pritchard: I'm a great believer in baby steps and not counting your chickens and not getting too far down the road. So, I look forward to this hopefully being successful and then having a conversation with people about where we go next. The great thing is my great-grandmother wrote, I think 33 full length Poirot novels. So we've got an awful lot of material to choose from. All of which I think, well, most of which I think would make great movies.
