Agatha Christie Adaptation Ken Ludwig

Directed by TBA

Hercule Poirot: The famous Belgian detective. Precise, intelligent, with impeccable taste and style. Age 40 to 60+.

Monsieur Bouc: M. Bouc owns the Wagon Lit train service. He is a friend of M. Poirot and is aboard the Orient Express with him. He too is Belgian, middle-aged and of good humor.

Mary Debenham: English, in her late 20s to mid-30s. She is a governess and a paramour of Colonel Arbuthnot. Note: Character participates in physical intimacy.

Hector MacQueen: A beleaguered, nervous American in his 30s who travels with Mr. Ratchett as his secretary.

Michel the Conductor: Michel is the Wagon Lit conductor. He is a good-looking Frenchman, in his 40s, with a quiet, almost grave, sense of humor. Monsieur Bouc knows and trusts him.

Princess Dragomiroff: Russian, in her dotage, expensively dressed and heavily bejeweled. She has a strong Russian accent and an imperious manner.

Greta Ohlsson: Plain, middle-aged and Swedish. Her English is not good, but she speaks and understands French. Greta is a matron in a missionary school and a trained nurse.

Helen Hubbard: A self-privileged, middle-aged, outspoken American who is flamboyant and often demanding.

Countess Andrenyi: A brilliant young doctor who is always dressed to the nines. She looks quite exotic, speaks a little English and has a charming Hungarian accent and a warm smile.

Colonel Arbuthnot: An army officer with a Scottish accent who served in India. He is honorable and upright, if a bit rigid and, at times, dim. He has a romantic connection with Ms. Debenham. Note: Character participates in physical intimacy.

Samuel Ratchett: A brusque American business tycoon who is mysteriously murdered by being stabbed a dozen times in his locked train compartment.
