What the new Knives Out movie is about
Ryan Johnson will return once again as writer and director. Plot details have yet to be revealed, but in a teaser shared by Johnson last Friday (May 24), Craig’s detective narration claims that the film will feature his “most dangerous case yet”.
“I love everything about crime novels, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is,” Johnson wrote on social media before announcing the title of the third sequel. “There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and exploring that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc films.”
Close has several films in post-production, including Lee Daniel’s supernatural thriller The Deliverance and action comedy Back in Actionwhich marks the first film of Cameron Diaz in a decade. Both are coming to Netflix.
Meanwhile, Washington stars in the series Unprisoned and will star in the World War II film directed by Tyler Perry, Six Triple Eightt for Netflix.
