George Tillman Jr<\/a>. will reportedly be directing the film adaptation of Agatha Christie\u2019s mystery novel And Then There Were None<\/strong><\/em> for 20th Century Studio. The news was first revealed by The Insneider<\/em>.

Tillman is best known for his work on The Hate U Give<\/strong><\/em>, The Longest Ride<\/strong><\/em>, and Men of Honor<\/strong><\/em>. It was earlier reported that the script for the film will be written by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel, who worked on the Captain Marvel<\/strong><\/em> film.

And Then Were None<\/strong><\/em>, published in 1939, sold more than 100 million copies. The novel narrates the fate of ten people who are murdered, one by one, while they are house guests on a remote island. Several film adaptations have been released over the years, including the original thriller in 1945, directed by Ren\u00e9 Clair and released in the United States as Ten Little Indians<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. A 1965 version<\/a> was set in the Swiss Alps, and a 1989 film was set in Africa<\/a>. In 2015, the BBC produced a mini-series<\/a> starring Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens, Noah Taylor, and Aidan Turner.

20th Century Studios has adapted other Agatha Christie novels over the last few years, directed by Kenneth Branagh<\/a> who also appeared in the role of detective Hercule Poirot. The films have been commercial and critical successes, earning more than $600 million globally. The studio is also planning films based on Witness for the Prosecution<\/strong><\/em> and the Miss Marple character.

Back in 2017, Branagh reflected on the enduring appeal of Agatha Christie\u2019s work to filmmakers. “I think there are possibilities, aren’t there? With 66 books and short stories and plays, she–and she often brings people together in her own books actually, so innately –she enjoyed that. You feel as though there is a world – just like with Dickens, there’s a complete world that she’s created – certain kinds of characters who live in her world – that I think has real possibilities.”
