We need to do it more often. After the commercial and critical success, Knives out will return with two new sequels on Netflix.
The detective film of 2019 after Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) while trying to figure out who killed a famous crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer). With the help of Marta (Anna d’Armi), the detective had the entire Thrombey family to investigate. Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford And Jaeden Martello everything appeared in the film.
Knives out was nominated for three Golden Globes and writer Rian Johnson received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Even before the murder movie was successful, Johnson shared his plans to create more stories that could stand on their own.
“I tell you, the truth is, I had so much fun working with Daniel Craig and I had so much fun doing it on all levels, from writing to making,” Johnson said in an interview for Uproxx in September 2019. “I’ve never really been interested in making sequels, but this, the idea of doing more with Daniel as a character, is not a sequel. That’s exactly what Agatha Christie did. It’s just coming up with a whole new mystery, a whole new location, a whole new cast, a whole new mechanics of the charm of a mystery and everything in between. It would be fun. “
Craig, who stood out in the film with his unique accent, previously discussed how Johnson’s approach to arguments in Knives out benefited the storytelling.
“It’s a very funny and funny movie. Let’s get it out right now. But what Rian is so brilliant at doing is just layered in some really nice social commentary. We did it last year; we finished this period last year, and it’s up to date. It’s all in there, “he said Screenrant in November 2019. “This is a film that will hopefully be entertaining, but one that will raise some problems. Hopefully it won’t cause a fight, but it will provoke a good discussion. “
Although viewers loved the staging for Knives out, the writer and director confirmed that the next chapter will not follow the same circumstances as before.
“There are so many different things you can do with it. And that’s what’s funny, ”Johnson told SiriusXM in February 2020. “You look at Agatha Christie’s books and it’s not like all of them are a mansion, a library and a detective. In addition to the setting, he also explored a lot of different subgenres. He found a different narrative in each of them “.
