Knives Out [DVD] [2019]

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.” a b Itzkoff, Dave (December 23, 2022).

[7] Dave Bautista said Johnson encouraged him to audition during an unprompted call, and Kathryn Hahn secured her role over several Zoom calls with Johnson. [42] [43] Filming [ edit ] The movie was written and directed by Rian Johnson, in his first post-Star Wars movie. It has an ensemble cast of very well known actors and actresses including Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Chris Evans, Toni Collette, Ana De Armas, and lesser know younger actors Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell, all of whom seem to have a reason to have killed Harlan. It is a unique "whodunit" in that the audience knows most of what happened throughout the majority of the movie, but there are twists that happen that make it clear not all is what it seems, all building up to a classic third act reveal. While the entire cast does a great job, Craig and De Armas really shine in their roles, and definitely deserved their Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress. The five travel to Miles's island, along with Birdie's assistant Peg and Duke's girlfriend Whiskey. Famous detective Benoit Blanc joins them, claiming Miles invited him as well. However, Miles privately tells Blanc he did not invite him; nevertheless, Miles allows Blanc to stay, assuming another guest sent him their invitation. Before dinner, Miles shows off his glass sculpture collection, as well as the Mona Lisa, which he has on loan from the Louvre. Miles also reveals that the mansion is powered by "Klear", a hydrogen-based alternative fuel that Alpha will soon launch, despite Lionel and Claire's knowledge that it is dangerous.
