Like the previous hits, "A Haunting in Venice" has an impressive cast that includes Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan and "Yellowstone" favorite Kelly Reilly.

Set in post-World War II Venice on All Hallows' Eve, the film sees Poirot coming out of retirement to solve a mystery, prompted by Fey's character who wants him to discredit a psychic, played by Yeoh.

As Poirot looks for a "rational answer," he also begins to doubt his skepticism: Was the murderer among the living, or have "the living been killed by the dead"?

The film, also starring Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Riccardo Scamarcio and "Belfast" standout Jude Hill, premieres in theaters Sept. 15.

20th Century Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."
