Trivia

1.Many of the characters are combinations or alterations of characters from the novel, to make for a smaller cast and a less confusing plot. Salome and Rosalie Otterbourne, a romance novelist and her daughter, become a singer and her niece/manager. Andrew Pennington becomes cousin Andrew Katchadourian. Marie Van Schuyler, a socialite and no relation to Linnet, becomes Linnet's godmother who has the ideals of Mr Ferguson, the aristocrat turned socialist. Windlesham, a character mentioned in the first chapter, is combined with Dr Bessner to become Dr/Lord Windlesham. Bouc, a character who appears only in Murder on the Orient Express, takes on elements of Col. Race while his choice of traveling companion, his mother Euphemia, is reminiscent of the relationship between Tim and Mrs Allerton.
2.The only two characters to appear in both this film and its predecessor are Poirot himself and his friend Bouc (Tom Bateman). Actually, Bouc does not appear in the novel 'Death on the Nile,' but was added in place of a similar character from the book.
3.This movie has been delayed several times. Originally set for 2019 release it got delayed in filming so was pushed to 2020. Then due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic it got pushed around several times until being set for fall 2021. Then on April 3, 2021 it was announced to be delayed again to February 2022 due to the Armie Hammer accusations.
4.Tiffany & Co designed jewelry worn in the film, most prominently featured is Linnet's diamond necklace. The necklace features a replica of the Tiffany Yellow Diamond, one of the largest yellow diamonds ever discovered. First discovered in South Africa in 1877; as of 2022, it has only been worn publicly by four women. At the 1957 Tiffany Ball, it was worn by Mrs. E. Sheldon Whitehouse. It was worn by Audrey Hepburn for Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) publicity photos. Lady Gaga wore the diamond at the The Oscars (2019). Beyoncé wore the necklace in a campaign with Tiffany in 2021.
5.In both this film and Murder on the Orient Express (2017), Poirot shows signs of being obsessive compulsive (Letitia Wright's character even calls him "obsessive" at one point). His need for balance and symmetry is shown when he sends back one of the desserts so that he has an even number and when he straightens the feet of one of the victims. We think of obsessive-compulsive disorder (or OCD) as a relatively new discovery, but the term was actually coined in 1877 by German psychiatrist Carl Westphal.
6.This version of Poirot is implied to have been born much later than his literary counterpart, who was already a mature man in his fifties at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. In this movie Poirot is shown in the prologue as a young soldier in 1914, in his twenties-early thirties at the most, making him at least thirty years younger than Book Poirot.
7.The film's "S.S. Karnak" was built in the studio parking lot. It is based on the P.S. Sudan. Agatha Christie wrote "Death On The Nile" based on a trip on the Sudan. Built in 1921, she was one of the largest river steamers in Thomas Cook's Nile fleet. The steamer spent the latter years of the 20th century laid up and in deteriorating condition until new French owners bought her in 2000 and returned her to service in 2001.
8.Shot entirely on large format 65mm film. Kenneth Branagh's previous turn as Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express (2017) was also shot in this format as well as his adaptation of Hamlet (1996).
9.This movie reunites comedy partners Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders
10.While sitting and admiring the Sphinx, Poirot can be seen sitting by a table on which are two eggs in cups. This is likely a reference to Branagh's earlier Poirot film, Murder on the Orient Express (2017), in which Poirot is struggling to find two eggs of the exact same size for breakfast.
11.A large number of the shots are framed with perfect or near-perfect symmetry. Some scenes are shot from more than one angle yet the symmetry remains. This is, no doubt, an allusion to Poirot's obsessive need for balance in all things.
12.At the beginning of the film, Poirot is asked by a reporter if he is, "on the Aurendel Case". This is likely a reference to the Poirot novel, Dumb Witness, the plot of which surrounds a family surnamed, Aurendel. This may be the novel the third installment will be based upon.
13.Stacy Abalogun is listed in the cast as "Elinor Glyn". Elinor Glyn (1864-1943) was a British novelist specializing in controversial (for that time) romantic fiction. (One bit of contemporary doggerel, inspired by her work, asked, "Would you like to sin/With Elinor Glyn/On a tiger skin?/Or would you prefer/To err with her/On some other fur?"). For the source novel, Agatha Christie created Salome Otterbourne as an alcoholic romance novelist, loosely based on Elinor Glyn.
