In a scene straight out of 1940s Venice, London\u2019s canals were transformed this morning \u2013 with a spooky twist.<\/p>\n

Passers-by in the capital were given a frightening surprise as a ghoulish gondola took to the canals, passing through Little Venice, Regents Park and Camden\u2019s canal.<\/p>\n

Manned by mysterious figures draped in black and donning traditional Venetian masks, early rising city workers and cyclists were taken aback by the eerie boats.<\/p>\n

They emerged from a thick cloud of fog that was cast over the waterways \u2013 but the fearsome figures were actually celebrating the launch of \u2018A Haunting in Venice\u2019, which is in cinemas this Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It was created using a replica Venetian gondola and manned by individuals dressed head-to-toe in costumes inspired by the film, featuring bespoke Venetian masks.<\/p>\n

The activation was executed by a team of SFX and prop-makers who studied hours of footage to capture the likeness of the characters, costumes and traditional Venetian gondolas.<\/p>\n

The film is the latest instalment in the series of Agatha Christie\u2019s Poirot films and stars Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Dornan.<\/p>\n

\u2018A Haunting in Venice\u2019 is set in post-World War II Venice on All Hallows\u2019 Eve and features the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot.<\/p>\n

Based on Agatha Christie\u2019s novel \u2018Hallowe\u2019en Party\u2019, it follows 2017\u2019s \u2018Murder on the Orient Express\u2019 and 2022\u2019s \u2018Death on the Nile\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
