British acting legend Celia Imrie has officially joined the glittering ensemble cast of the upcoming film adaptation of Richard Osman's wildly popular novel, 'The Thursday Murder Club'.

Imrie's addition to the project continues this trend, adding another layer of British acting excellence to the production.
What We Know About the Film
While plot details remain closely guarded, we know the story follows a group of retirement village residents who form a club to solve cold cases. When a real murder occurs on their doorstep, they put their skills to the ultimate test. The adaptation is being directed by Chris Columbus, known for his work on Harry Potter and Home Alone.
