Awful trailer. Do they not want people to see this?

I kinda agree with you, Shaun. I was very much looking forward to this movie and I haven't given up on it. But this trailer is poorly edited and again a(n awful) song, this seems to be the new trend. Still, Doyle could have a field day with this material.

Seems like Herrmann will finally get his "train of death" music based on what I heard in the trailer.

Looking forward to this very much - and hoping that Doyle, at least this time, won´t have to emulate current trends but will be allowed and encouraged to write a really old school score.

It´s just an early teaser laying out the bare bones of the plot.
Yes, the use of that song makes me roll my eyes, too - but that´s what studios now believe will sell tickets. As long as they won´t use that song (or any song) in the film...

If Doyle is given free reign he can certainly deliver music of the same quality as Richard Rodney Bennett. So I believe anyway.

I really like the 1974 version. Albert Finney really nailed the fussy little Belgian detective Poirot and the score and photography were first class. The long murder music track is densely atmospheric. This could be an interesting remake but what is going on with that moustache??
It actually is faithful to the description by Agatha Christie.

Here's a cute page with various Christie mustache references: http://www.agathachristie.com/characters/hercule-poirot/great-moments-of-poirots-moustache.
Key quote to support Branagh's rather Edwardian selection: “A little man with enormous moustaches” – Murder on the Orient Express.
As to what Doyle might be permitted to do, I'm just keeping in mind his lovely score for Branagh's last fairy tale, Cinderella.
I can hardly wait to finally hear Poirot say: "Monsieur, I moustache you one more question."

PollyAnna, just wanted to note months later that I completely agree with and endorse your comments. Over the years it has become maybe my favorite murder mystery movie. I only wish Sidney Lumet had done a few more "entertainments" (Graham Greene's own description for his "lighter" novels) along with his more significant films.
Best damn final act solution-monologue in movie history. Nearly 30 minutes long - and so beautifully integrated with flashbacks which are often shot differently and with different lens choices to ratchet up the suspense, you should pardon the expression.
And Lokutus, thanks for the pre-order link!
