Felicity Jones is set to portray legendary author Agatha Christie in a new film that details her mysterious disappearance.
The two-time Oscar nominee will star in "Eleven Missing Days," a movie that has quietly been in the works for over a decade, per Deadline. Fortitude International will introduce the noir mystery-thriller film to buyers at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
Based on true events, "Eleven Missing Days" will detail the events of December 1926, when the Murder on the Orient Express novelist vanished for just under two weeks at the height of her fame. The English author mysteriously disappeared from her home, and the case was never officially solved.
"Eleven Missing Days" will explore the investigations behind the bizarre mystery that has puzzled crime fans, book lovers, and keen historians for 100 years. While it firmly remains a mystery, it is thought that the disappearance can be put down to Christie's mental state following a car crash and grief from the death of her mother.
Acting alongside Jones, who recently starred in the acclaimed drama Train Dreams, is César winner Vincent Cassel. Fresh off the back of filming for the next installment of Mike White's The White Lotus, the French actor will portray a retired Belgian police detective who gets drawn into the infamous case.
Christie, who wrote dozens of mystery novels and was coined the "Queen of crime," made international headlines after she disappeared and resurfaced without an explanation, 11 days later. The case captured global attention, with thousands of the general public many prominent figures—including other famous writers such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dorothy L. Sayers—assisting in the search.
"Eleven Missing Days" will be directed by British director Bertie Ellwood from a screenplay by Ernesto Foronda ("Better Luck Tomorrow"). The screenplay is based on the book Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days by Christie scholar Jared Cade.
