“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,” says writer-director-producer Rian Johnson.
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.
The film stars Daniel Craig (No Time to Die, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Edward Norton (Fight Club, Primal Fear), Janelle Monáe (Antebellum, Hidden Figures), Kathryn Hahn (“WandaVision“, “Crossing Jordon”), Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami, The Many Saints of Newark), Jessica Henwick (The Matrix Resurrections, Underwater), Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”, “The Originals”) with Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days) and Dave Bautista (Dune, Blade Runner 2049).
The film is written, directed, and produced by Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper). Ram Bergman is also a producer on the project, with Tom Karnowski as EP.
GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY will be released in select theaters on a to be announced date and globally on Netflix on December 23.
