Anjelica Huston Starring In Latest BBC/BritBox Agatha Christie Adaptation
deadline.comThe BBC and BritBox International have secured A-list talent for their latest Agatha Christie adaptation. Oscar-winner Anjelica Huston has been cast in Towards Zero, potentially the highest-profile actor to appear in a BBC Christie series since John Malkovich played Poirot in 2018’s The ABC Murders.
Huston will play the aunt of lead character Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). After a scandalous celebrity divorce, the British tennis star and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile’s aunt, Lady Tressilian (Huston).
Revealed by Deadline several months back, the series will star Jackie Clune (Motherland), Grace Doherty (Call the Midwife), Jack Farthing (Rain Dogs), Khalil Gharbia (Mary & George), Adam Hugill (Sherwood), Mimi Keene (Sex Education), Clarke Peters (The Wire), Emmy winner Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and Oliver Award-winner Anjana Vasan (Black Mirror: Demon 79).
Cameras are rolling in Bristol and Devon. “I have long been a fan of Agatha Christie and the murder-mystery genre and always love the opportunity to film in England,” said Huston. “I am thrilled to be working with director Sam Yates and this wonderful cast, and excited to play the clever and dignified Camilla, Lady Tressilian.” Huston, who won an Oscar for 1985’s Prizzi’s Honor, most recently starred as the narrator in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch and will appear in John Wick spinoff Ballerina.
