Writer/director Rian Johnson is back with GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY, the highly-anticipated follow up to his Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery KNIVES OUT, which featured Daniel Craig as master detective Benoit Blanc. Craig is also back for the sequel, joined by an all-star cast that includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. In discussing the new movie, Johnson was quoted to say “The phrase I kept coming back to and talking about the first movie is, ‘It’s a roller coaster and not a crossword puzzle.’ It’s a common mistake in writing whodunits, thinking that you’re making a crossword puzzle, and that the fun is that the audience is actually going to analyze all this and figure it out.”
Check out the GLASS ONION trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. Think this could be as good if not better than KNIVES OUT? We were already sold with the casting of Edward Norton, but the rest of the key players are incredibly intriguing as well.
In the follow up to Rian Johnson’s KNIVES OUT, Detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects.
