EXCLUSIVE: Ryan McParland (Say Nothing), Alfie Allen (Game Of Thrones), Ben Hardy (The Conjuring: Last Rites) and Stacy Martin (The Brutalist) are joining Vincent Cassel and Felicity Jones in Agatha Christie film Eleven Missing Days.

Filming is due to get underway later this week in the UK on the noir mystery-thriller which will see Black Swan star Cassel play a retired Belgian police detective — in an echo of Christie’s most famous sleuth Hercule Poirot — who is drawn into the mysterious real-life case of the Brit author’s disappearance.

The synopsis reads: “In December 1926, at the height of her fame, Agatha Christie became front-page news when she vanished in bizarre circumstances from her home. In a case of life imitating art, this whodunnit explores the investigation behind her disappearance, strangely resembling an Agatha Christie novel itself where everyone in her life became a suspect.”

Christie’s disappearance made national and international headlines. It captured the public’s attention with leading politicians and fellow writers including Arthur Conan Doyle drawn into the search. Speculation raged over what happened to the author and to this day there remains mystery, with some putting her disappearance down to memory loss as a result of a car crash, and others pointing to the potential of a “fugue” state brought on by trauma or depression.

McParland, known for FX’s limited series Say Nothing and Paramount+’s Halo, will play William Kenward, the Surrey Constable who works alongside Jacques Pieters (Cassel) in the search for Christie.

Bertie Ellwood (Silo) is directing from a screenplay by Ernesto Foronda (Better Luck Tomorrow), based on the book Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days by Christie scholar Jared Cade. Nicole Elizabeth Berger (He’s Watching You) and Oliver Trevena (The Gorge) also star.

Producers are Serena Films’ Tatiana Kelly, Animus Films’ Jim Young, Green Light Pictures’ Lucas Jarach, Nadine de Barros of Fortitude International, Joshua Harris of Peachtree Media Partners, and James Cunningham of Object & Animal. Fortitude is repping international sales. Range Select is representing U.S. rights.

McParland is represented by Buchwald, Range Media Partners, and Jackoway Austen. Martin is with Agence Adequat, CAA, Independent Talent Group and Luber Roklin. Allen is with CAA, The Artists Partnership and Untitled. Hardy is repped by Independent Talent Group, UTA and Principal Entertainment.
