Jodie Comer to Lead All-Star Cast in 'The Last Disturbance Of Madeline Hynde'

Kenneth Branagh is probably best known as an actor, thanks to his performances in films ranging from the 1993 adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing to his 2023 take on Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in A Haunting in Venice. But what you may not have realized is that Branagh is also an equally accomplished director, whose work critically acclaimed work behind the camera includes films like Hamlet, Thor, Cinderella, A Murder on the Orient Express, and the previously mentioned Much Ado.

His last film, the 2021 coming-of-age drama Belfast, was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. (Branagh himself took home the statue for Best Original Screenplay.) And if its starry cast connected to his next directorial effort is any indication, it's likely to garner plenty of awards season buzz as well.

Titled The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, the film is being described as a contemporary psychological thriller, but its logline, description, and even the most generic details about its plot are currently being kept under wraps. But just because we have no idea what this movie is  about yet doesn't mean it's not worth getting excited over.
