According to Variety, Judi Dench is in talks with Kenneth Branagh to potentially join the ARTEMIS FOWL MOVIE adaptation.

Dench and Branagh most recently collaborated on “Murder on the Orient Express,” which Branagh also helmed and starred in opposite Dench. They also starred together in “The Winter’s Tale” on the West End in 2015.

The acting legend has earned strong reviews for her most recent role as Queen Victoria in the dramedy “Victoria and Abdul.” She is repped by Julian Belfrage and Associates.

Looking at Branagh’s most recent Directorial and Starring project, ‘Murder on the Orient Express,’ could we be seeing Daisy Ridley potentially joining the project as Holly Short?
