The Glass Bow: Knives Out is written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Daniel Craig (Detective Benoit Blanc). Franchise newcomers include Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madeleine Kline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.
“I invited you all to my island because there will be a murder tonight. My murder,” Norton’s character, Miles Bron, announces in the trailer. It seems that the plot centers on a billionaire who invites his friends to a murder investigation party on a private island.
“We had an amazing cast in the last film and I didn’t know how to top it, but we matched it. The work experience is just to come to the set and shoot these films – it’s so much fun, ”Craig shared his impressions.
Johnson, who says Benoit will play a larger role in the sequel, added:
“Mystery will not be what keeps viewers in their places. First of all, remember that you are making a movie and that it should be a drama, not just a puzzle. It’s really hard to create a good story that feels unique, exciting, and emotionally satisfying at the end.”
The director also expressed hope that Benoit would have a long to-do list, hinting at a continuation of the franchise.
A month before the premiere on Netflix, from November 23, the film will be released in leading US theaters for a week. In total, The Glass Bow will hit approximately 600 theaters before hitting Netflix on December 23rd.
The first film, Knives Out, produced by Lionsgate, was a hit in 2019. Netflix acquired the rights to two of its sequels for $469 million in 2021.
