The first look of Rian Johnson’s homicide thriller Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is out.
The multi-starrer is a religious sequel of Rian’s Academy Award-nominated Knives Out, which starred the likes of Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Toni Colette amongst others.
In half two, we are going to as soon as once more see Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc examine a recent case, for which he’ll journey all the best way to Greece. The official logline of the film reads, “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.”
Speaking to Netflix, filmmaker Rian Johnson revealed that within the new characteristic, we are going to get to know the character of Daniel Craig significantly better than we did within the unique.
“In the first one, because of the way it was structured, Marta, Ana de Armas’ character, was very much the protagonist. In a big way, Blanc was the threat. He was almost the antagonist in terms of just the story structure, because you were worried, even as they got closer, that he was going to catch her and he was going to have to turn her over at the end. So Blanc was always outside of the sphere of our protagonist and was a little bit more of an enigma in the first movie. Whereas, in this one, Blanc gets an invitation to come to this murder mystery on this island. We’re very much meeting these people and getting into this world through his eyes,” the director acknowledged.
In the identical chat, Johnson revealed how he chanced upon the fascinating title of the film and mentioned, “So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, “Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?” The very first thing that got here up, as a result of I’m an enormous Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.’”
Also starring Jessica Henwick, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista amongst others, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will launch someday this yr.
