Dame Judi Dench and Daisy Ridley are joining the all-star cast of Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express.
And they're not the only Hollywood stars signing up for the classic murder mystery – they'll be joined by Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Pena, Tom Bateman, Derek Jacobi and Johnny Depp, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Branagh is directing the movie, based on Agatha Christie's 1934 novel of the same name, and will also star as the iconic Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

Ridley, who shot to fame as Rey in last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is taking on the role of governess Mary Debenham.
Meanwhile, Dench will be the Russian Princess Dragomiroff, and Pfeiffer will play the glamorous Mrs Hubbard.
Depp, whose last movies include Alice Through the Looking Glass and Black Mass, will play the murdered character Ratchett, whose valet Masterman will be played by Jacobi.
Bateman, who you'll probably remember from Da Vinci's Demons and Jekyll and Hyde, will play the Frenchman Bouc, and The Martian and Ant-Man star Peña is playing a Cuban passenger named Marquez.
And that's not all, Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr has been cast as Dr Arbuthnot, with Lucy Boynton from Life in Squares and Sing Street as Countess Andrenyi.
There's plenty of talent behind the scenes, too – Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg (of The Martian) and Mark Gordon (Steve Jobs) are co-producing with Branagh.
American Gods showrunner Michael Green will be adapting Christie's thriller for the screenplay, which doesn't have a confirmed release date yet. Filming is due to start in London this November.
