Murder on the Orient Express: Cinematography, digital or scale model?
Nov 12, 2017 13:10:57 #
We went to the flick on Friday evening. For a story that was written nearly 100 years ago (1934) it was very enjoyable and hardly seemed dated at all! Right down to the ethnic comments.
As we left people were commenting on the great cinematography... lots of scenic mountains and railroad clips.
As the credits rolled there was no reference to a railroad or museum or anything rail related... However there were dozens of digital artists listed. How much of it do you think was real and how much may have been animated?
There was only one moment, early on, when looking over a crowd of people at the train down in a valley, that I thought it looked like a scale model train.
Either way, it was nicely done.
Thoughts?

It was filmed in Italy, Malta and also Turkey as well as studio shooting in England so probably alot of the scenery shots were authentic.

Was it the one with Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christi new how to weave a tale. Who remembers the names of the other cast members. We still have a VHS copy and if you want it you will have to pry it from cold, dead hands.

Thanks. We're going to try to find it on NetFlix... 1974 : Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Jacqueline Bisset, Anthony Perkins and Wendy Hiller. The screenplay is by Paul Dehn as well as an uncredited Anthony Shaffer.[4]

The whole cast was on Graham Norton recently, and Kenneth Branagh said they built four carriages (cars). The cast said they felt like they were trapped because they spent so many hours inside the train, not being able to get out at all. The TV was on in the background, so I didn't get all the details of the discussion.
Ah, here we are -
"A fully dressed and moving train -- a 22-ton locomotive, a tender and four complete carriages (each weighing about 25 tonnes) -- was built at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England. "

I thought the beginning cinematographywas excellent. It had the tint of early color films. At the end, the cinematography was like more current films.

From the above article, "
Branagh shot the film on 65mm, using the last four 65mm Panavision cameras in the world, so the definition and depth offered by 65mm helped enhance both the claustrophobic atmosphere and epic scope the director wanted to achieve.

I enjoyed the film, the photography was great. The only thing that bugged me was when the train started out it had but three passenger cars, stuck on the mountain side it had a whole lot more, maybe 9 or more. At the end it was back to three green cars. Magical train?
