The new "And Then There Were None" adaptation!

GKCfan

Christie fans from the UK already saw this miniseries around Christmas!  In the United States, the new adaptation of And Then There Were None airs on Sunday, March 13th and Monday, March 14th at 9PM ET/PT.  If you've seen it already, please talk about it on this thread, but no spoilers!  When it airs in the US, please join in on the discussion!

In case you're wondering, the UK version aired in three parts, but the US version is arranged to air in two parts.  Same show, just spaced out differently.

For more information, check out the Lifetime website:

Also, in the US, RLJ/Acorn will release the DVD version of And Then There Were None on April 19th!  Here's a link to the cover art!

@GKCfan, do you if the new adaptation will be broadcast in others countries, besides UK and US?

GKCfan

@tudes, I don't know when ATTWN will air in Brazil, but it should be released on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, and other platforms this week.  I don't know if that's just US/UK or worldwide, though.

You're welcome, @tudes!

@GKCfan  any chance of it getting aired in India? 

GKCfan

@rekha.srivalli, I don't know of any news for a television airing in India (sorry), but the DVD's will be released next month in some regions, so depending on your DVD player (or perhaps by using your computer) you could watch it that way?

Oh ok thanks for the information @GKCfan ;

@GKCfan, I'm living in Spain at the moment, so I don't think I'lle be able to watch the new adaptation soon...I'll search the web, still:  is it essetial to the game ? Fact is I've got all 8 soldier boys   

GKCfan

diletta.fraizzoli, you don't need to watch the new adaptation to play the game.  The game just has an AATWN theme.  Congratulations on finding the 8 soldier boys released so far!

Any news on if/when it will be aired in Canada?

GKCfan

Sorry, no, @Agathasmykid.  I don't know about a Canadian airing, but the DVD's will be out next month.

@GKCfan thanks for the information! I did a search on my cable box this morning, and guess, what I found it! For all Canadians out there, it will start to air on our national network, CBC, on March 28.

Great, @Agathasmykid!  I hope you enjoy it!

Okay, I must say, this was so good! Almost chilling. I feel they did an excellent job with capturing the mood and tone of the book. I thought they did Vera's back story perfectly. Well done! If further Christie adaptations continue to meet this standard.

From what I saw I thought it was awful. I don't think it met up to the standard that it should have met and it just didn't have that Agatha Christie feel to it. I couldn't even watch the whole film because what I saw appeared as if the adaptors were trying so hard to create a dark thriller .....mind you, I said "trying so hard". I didn't like the casting, I thought it didn't really capture the atmosphere of the book. I remember reading And Then There Were None and it intrigued me so much I read it all within one night! But this film didn't intrigue me; I couldn't even finish watching Part One!

I think the part I liked best was the way Vera's character was developed. I really was pulling for her even though I knew what was coming. The backstory was developed well enough that you weren't really sure about her character until the end. Maybe her being on the island was all a huge mistake (haha!) In the end though her true colors really showed through and left no mistake about her character.

Finally watched my dvds of ATTWN.  I approve.  They added back stories but the feel and overall atmosphere was great.  and at last someone adapted the ending as it should be--although not perfectly exact as she described, but good enough  !   I look forward to next years WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.

I hope it will be able here in the Philippines.
