been directed by Chris Columbus, who is no stranger to a high profile movie having directed films like Home Alone and several of the Harry Potter franchise. The preview introduces us to the
characters played by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley, as they meet Celia Imrie's character for the first time while investigating a cold case from the 70s. Celia's
character Joyce asks the other Coopers Chase residents, "isn't this room usually used for jigsaws?", to which Helen Mirren's character Elizabeth says, "not on a
Thursday, no." Article continues below The clip also shows Joyce getting rather overexcited when a present-day murder takes place, and offers sneak peeks at the characters portrayed by
Naomi Ackie and Ingrid Oliver. The official blurb for the film reads: "Based on Richard Osman's international bestselling novel of the same name, The Thursday Murder Club follows

you'll see it an hour before everyone else. But yeah, the first trailer, the teaser trailer, is out on Thursday, Netflix releasing the first trailer so you get to see all of those
amazing actors playing those roles in that trailer." Podcast co-host Marina Hyde joked: "I'm already signed up to your newsletter." Richard replied: "Well,
you're going to see it an hour early then." To which Marina quipped: "Can you actually just email me so I can see if before then?" Richard responded: "Oh yeah, and
