The Thursday Murder Club Is Already Looking Promising

The Netflix Adaptation Features A Stacked Cast

Getting four powerful lead actors to anchor The Thursday Murder Club was always going to be crucial to the adaptation's success, and the movie has certainly accomplished this. All four stars boast impressive acting resumes, with Brosnan having memorably played James Bond, while Mirren and Kingsley have both won Oscars. Putting all four stars together is sure to be a recipe for success.

Columbus being in the director's chair is another positive sign for the film. The filmmaker perhaps remains best known for helming the first two Harry Potter movies, but he also directed Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire. Columbus' more recent movies have, ittedly, not quite been able to reach these same highs, but he is nonetheless an experienced filmmaker who could be able to capture the mix of comedy and mystery that worked so well in the Thursday Murder Club novel.

Recent Columbus movies include: The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two, Pixels, and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

It's clear that the Netflix adaptation has some impressive talent assembled for its four leads, but the movie also boasts a remarkably strong ing cast. Actors like David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant, Tom Ellis, and Naomie Ackie are among those who will be playing ing characters. With filming on The Thursday Murder Club only just now getting underway, it will likely be sometime before a trailer is released, but things are already looking promising.
