ITV remakes eight Christie mysteries


October 30, 2008 ITV has commissioned eight new Agatha Christie films, among them a remake of "Murder on the Orient Express," as part of a renewed output deal with British producer Chorion, which owns rights to the Christie estate. ITV has enjoyed success with a series of Christie remakes from Chorion including "At Bertram's Hotel," which also aired on PBS in the U.S. The shows will be executive produced by Chorion's Phil Clymer. ITV director of drama Laura Mackie said the franchises have "enduring" appeal for viewers.
