Anne Fletcher To Direct James Vanderbilt Comedy Whodunit, Murder Mystery

The comedy whodunit Murder Mystery has a new home with TWC-Dimension. Co-produced with Endgame Entertainment, Anne Fletcher will direct an original screenplay by James Vanderbilt (White House Down), which is said to be a cross between an Agatha Christie mystery and a Nick and Nora adventure.

Here is the official logline from the studio: "A married couple takes the honeymoon they never had in the hopes of saving their struggling marriage, but soon find themselves in the middle of their very own murder mystery when one of their fellow cruise passengers is found dead. They must travel across Europe to discover the true murderer's identity while trying to re-ignite the spark to their relationship."

"Murder Mystery is a throwback to Agatha Christie novels with a comedic spin. We have been huge fans of Anne Fletcher for years and have wanted to work with her," said Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein, co-chairmen of The Weinstein Company.

"James's script is absolutely great," added James D. Stern, CEO of Endgame. "It's a modern version of the old Nick and Nora movies … it has it all — suspense, romance, and humor."
