"Orient Express" screenwriter Michael Green is set to return for the sequel, reported Variety.
Kenneth Branagh is expected to come back as the director and reprise his role of the mustachioed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, a deal is yet to be signed though.
Based on celebrated author Agatha Christie's novel of the same name, the follow-up will chronicle Poirot's vacation in Egypt where he discovers a murder on the banks the Nile as a love triangle goes bad.
The book has been previously adapted into a 1978 film, with Peter Ustinov as Poirot along with Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, Maggie Smith, among others.
