Jennifer Garner to play Agatha Christie`s super-sleuth Miss Marple

Melbourne: Jennifer Garner has landed the title character in Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming big-screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s ‘Miss Marple’ mystery novel series.

According to IGN, the character - immortalized in countless films and TV shows over the past 50 years - is traditionally an elderly woman, but Disney’s reboot will revolve around a much younger Marple cracking crimes. According to Deadline.com, Mark Frost - who has experience with mysteries, having scripted much of David Lynch`s Twin Peaks - will write the script, while Garner will produce through her Vandalia Films company, with Disney overseeing the project, reports a daily.
