Now he\u2019s returned with a third adaptation, this time based on a far lesser known entry in the Christie canon, namely her 1969 work Hallowe\u2019en Party<\/a>.<\/p>\n Clearly feeling that the novel\u2019s quaint English countryside setting would be something of a letdown after the altogether more exotic locales of his previous films, Branagh has shifted the action to Venice \u2013 one of several changes in a film that\u2019s only very loosely inspired by the aforementioned book.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a mystery movie,\u201d the film\u2019s Italian line producer Enrico Ballarin told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other media when introducing a special screening of the film in Venice.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd what town\u2026 what is a better place than Venice to set a mystery?\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cEvery place you go is mysterious \u2013 I hope you have the chance to go round Venice at night and you can see even more how mysterious it is.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd so I think it was the perfect idea to set the film by Kenneth Branagh, to move the action of the film from the novel by Agatha Christie \u2013 which is in the countryside of England \u2013 to Venice.\u201d<\/p>\n While most of A Haunting in Venice\u2019s interiors were filmed on a constructed Palazzo set at Pinewood Studios in London, the cast and crew also spent more than a week shooting in Venice itself, with many of the city\u2019s most iconic landmarks appearing in the film.<\/p>\n To mark the release, RadioTimes.com<\/strong> was invited on a special immersive tour of the city to show some of those locations \u2013 you can watch the video above or read on for more information.<\/p> A conservatory of music since 1876, the Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello is housed in Palazzo Pisani a Santo Stefano \u2013 which was built between 1614 and 1615.<\/p>\n It is the second largest Palazzo in Venice \u2013 with an area of roughly 14,000 square meters \u2013 and boasts an impressive roof terrace that features prominently at the beginning and end of the film, where Poirot is seen enjoying his retirement before taking on his latest case.<\/p>\n The island San Giorgio Maggiore is one of Venice\u2019s most iconic spots and has appeared in numerous artworks, including a series by Claude Monet \u2013 so it\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s used for establishing shots in the film.<\/p>\n The island\u2019s church \u2013 which was designed by Andrea Palladio in the 16th century \u2013 is especially prominent, and one scene early in the film shows Poirot doing a spot of shopping at a market in its churchyard.<\/p>\n The Palazzo Ducale is another of Venice\u2019s most well-known locations, having historically served as the residence of the\u00a0Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the former\u00a0Republic of Venice.<\/p>\n First built in 1340, it has been extended and modified several times and has been operating as a museum since 1923 \u2013 and we had a creepy surprise waiting for us when we visited on our Venetian tour\u2026<\/p>\n Venice\u2019s main square, Piazza San Marco, also features in various shots \u2013 no surprise given it is home to several of the city\u2019s most iconic buildings, including St Mark\u2019s Basilica (pictured) and the Clock Tower, which you can read more about below.<\/p>\n The incredible Clock Tower \u2013 a building dating back to the early Renaissance period \u2013 first appears in an establishing shot towards the beginning of the movie, while in one scene Poirot scales the tower for a view of the city.<\/p>\n Situated on the north side of the Piazza San Marco, it is particularly noteworthy for the two bronze figures that strike the bell on the hour. Close inspection of the figures reveals one to be old and the other to be young \u2013 intended to symbolise the passing of time.<\/p>\n It wouldn\u2019t be Venice without exploring the city\u2019s networks of canals \u2013 and the best way of navigating them is undoubtedly by taking a trip on one of the 400 or so gondolas.<\/p>\n This method of transport is used by several of the characters in the film, with Poirot taking in many of the city\u2019s other sights this way, and several of the characters arriving via gondola for the s\u00e9ance which kickstarts the movie.<\/p>\n Other Venetian landmarks that can be seen during the film include the Palazzo Malipiero, Scala Contarini del Bovolo, Palazzo Pisani, Santa Maria dei Miracoli, and Campo San Giacomo dell\u2019Orio.<\/em><\/p>\n A Haunting in Venice is released in UK cinemas on Friday 15th September 2023.
