![]() So, on paper, I would much rather this be a television show. Why? Because when studios make movies, they tend to push for everything to be bigger and more action packed, which is not the Murder, She Wrote vibe I want. Murder On The Orient Express, as an example, has an entirely unnecessary chase sequence. I like the new ones with Kenneth Branagh, apart from the times the franchise tries to turn up the action to make it feel more like a movie. I’ve also seen most of the movie adaptations. I’ve read many of the Agatha Christie books he features in, and I’ve watched the David Suchet TV show. ![]() I’m a bit concerned we might lose that with a movie. For the most part, it was all very confined to small town Maine life, with a neat little pool of suspects and a relaxed pace. I’m not saying Jessica Fletcher wasn’t taking her investigations seriously, but there was a certain casualness with how she went about things, a lot of drinking coffee around a kitchen table and discussing some theories with her man friend Dr. Even though we were dealing with murder, one of my favorite things about Murder, She Wrote is how light the tone usually was. That being said, I’m a little taken aback by the decision to turn this franchise into a movie. So, in theory, I’m very open to meeting a new Jessica Fletcher and either a new Sheriff Mort or Sheriff Amos. I’m not saying we should remake Shawshank Redemption for the hell of it, but sometimes revisiting old characters and reimaging them for a new generation is a lot of fun. Plus, I’m not one of those people who is terrified of something I love being ruined by new versions.
