Daniel Craig just dropped some new details on Rian Johnson's upcoming Knives Out sequel. Fresh from having one of the most successful movies this year, the James Bond alum gave details to the imminent murder mystery movie, Knives Out 2.
Daniel Craig knows how much moviegoers loved Knives Out, a murder mystery that involves a family with secrets of their own and against their own. Craig, who plays Benoit Blanc, a detective who investigates the death of a family patriarch during a family gathering, will be reprising his role in Knives Out 2, and he is happy to give fans some juicy hints to the film.
Knives Out 2Plot Details
During an interview with Empire, Daniel Craig was asked regarding Rian Johnson's (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) Knives Out sequel and how different it would be from the first film. Craig, who is currently enjoying the success of the latest Bond film, also his last as the 007 agent, was more than happy to oblige with some answers.
Craig revealed that they recently wrapped up filming Knives Out 2 and that the story will be different from the first film. He added that, despite a significant shift in the story, it will be refreshing and is different in a good way.
"I'm so lucky to have Rian [Johnson] in my life. He's such a great writer. That script arrived and I was literally like, ‘Are you kidding me?' I couldn't believe that he wanted me to play it. I was going, ‘It says Southern accent you went here. Really?' And he's like, ‘Yeah?' We've just finished the second one, literally weeks ago. They've just wrapped up in Serbia. Dare I say it's better? We'll see. I don't want to tempt fate. It's different, and that's the amazing thing. It's still a Benoit Blanc mystery, but it's very different. I'm very excited about it."
Knives Out had one of the most exciting scripts when it came out that it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Let's hope that Knives Out 2 will be at par with the first installment.
