Chris Columbus' film also features Ben Kingsley, Jonathan Pryce, Naomi Ackie and Celia Imrie in key supporting roles.

The Thursday Murder Club is truly a star-studded affair, welcoming an abundance of familiar faces including Helen Mirren, David Tennant, Tom Ellis and Richard E Grant.

Ben Kingsley brought his wife Daniela Lavender as his date to the U.K. premiere of his new crime comedy Netflix movie 'The Thursday Murder Club' on Aug. 21 in London. The pair of actors have been married since 2007.

The Thursday Murder Club writer Katy Brand fought back tears as she praised Dame Helen Mirren and Jonathan Pryce for their tender portrayal of dementia in the new Netflix film. The movie is an adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling novel about a group of retirement home residents who come together to solve murders for fun but find themselves caught in a real-life case.

Imrie plays Joyce, a former trauma nurse who fellow Thursday Murder Club member Elizabeth [Helen Mirren] describes on first meeting as ‘nice enough, a bit simple really, but knows all about knife wounds’, making her useful to the group.

Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, and Celia Imrie play amateur sleuths in director Chris Columbus' adaptation of the hit novel.
