Glass Onion

Product Information

Johnson wants each Knives Out mystery to take on a wildly different energy from the previous one. Just as Benoit Blanc is inspired by Hercule Poirot, the writer-director is inspired by Poirot’s creator, Agatha Christie. “It wasn’t just settings or murder methods, [Christie] was constantly stretching the genre conceptually. Under the umbrella of the whodunnit she wrote spy thrillers, proto-slasher horrors, serial killer hunts, gothic romances, psychological character studies, [and] glam travelogues,” Johnson said in his tweets announcing the title. “When I made Knives Out, that’s what excited me about the prospect of making more mysteries with Daniel as Benoit Blanc — to emulate Christie and have every film be like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, [and] reason for being.” Apart from Daniel Craig, none of the cast members from the first movie will appear in the second one. The all-new cast includes Kate Hudson as Birdie Jay, Edward Norton as Miles Bron, Janelle Monáe as Cassandra Brand, and Dave Bautista as Duke Cody. Where to watch Knives Out movies? You definitely get to know him a little bit better,” he says. “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.” Dave Bautista as Duke Cody, a video game streamer and men's rights activist on Twitch and YouTube [3] [12]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020, Miles Bron, the co-founder of technology company Alpha, hosts a murder mystery game at the Glass Onion, his mansion on a private island in Greece. He invites his friend group, the "Disruptors": Alpha head scientist Lionel Toussaint, Connecticut governor Claire Debella, controversial model-turned-fashion designer Birdie Jay, men's rights streamer Duke Cody, and ousted Alpha co-founder Cassandra "Andi" Brand.

In his first scene in the movie, famed detective Benoit Blanc is shown to be spending the first few months of the pandemic just like many of us did: utterly depressed and killing time with countless games of Among Us. However, few among us (ha!) can say that they had a group of game partners as star-studded as Mr. Blanc. Sitting in his bathtub, Benoit has a two-screen setup, one of which shows a Zoom chat between him, actress Angela Lansbury, Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim, actress Natasha Lyonne, and basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The first movie starts us off with the death of crime novelist Harlan Thrombey. A week later, news has spread and upon the arrival of most of his family members, we meet our detective and main character, Benoit Blanc who was hired to solve the mystery of Harlan Thrombey. He now has to untangle the web of lies created by the deeply disturbed and dysfunctional wealthy family of the deceased. Johnson said he was "pissed" that A Knives Out Mystery was added as the subtitle, originally intending the film to be titled Glass Onion and act as a standalone story. [37] [54] While he said he understood the need for audiences to understand that Glass Onion was part of a series, he believes that "the whole appeal to me is it’s a new novel off the shelf every time" and that there is an industry trend with "the gravity of a thousand suns toward serialized storytelling". [55] Theatrical and streaming [ edit ] At one point, Rian Johnson mulled having Blanc inexplicably speak in a different accent in each film.

Perhaps one of the silliest parts of Glass Onion happens at the beginning when Detective Benoit Blanc is at home, taking a relaxing bath. He can be seen with his laptop and tablet on as he plays the hit game, Among Us with friends. As he complains about being out of work, it becomes clear that he's on a video call with four friends -- a regular COVID-19 activity for most people -- while they play the game. The four friends on the screen are actor Natasha Lyonne, basketball star Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, and musical legends Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim. While these appearances don't impact the plot of Glass Onion, it adds some humor and more star power. Returning Knives Out crew members included cinematographer Steve Yedlin, editor Bob Ducsay, and composer Nathan Johnson. [40] [44] Filming began on Spetses, an island in Greece, on June 28, 2021.

The second movie is set on a Greek island where a wealthy tech billionaire invites his friends out for a getaway. Of course, it wouldn’t be a murder mystery if someone didn’t turn up dead, and yet again, we meet our detective Benoit Blanc who is set to solve the case. As is with the first movie, the scenes all look very grand and glorious, wealthy and pompous. Olsen, Mark (September 10, 2022).
