This just in- it would appear that streaming giant Netflix has forked over some serious cash for TWO sequels to Rian Johnson‘s “Knives Out.” As in…upwards of $400 million, although some reports seem to differ on the exact amount. What we do know is that Johnson will return to write and direct, and so will star Daniel Craig.
Thats….kinda all we know at this point about these sequels. There are some reports that indicate filming for “Knives Out 2” may begin as early as this June in Greece.
The 2019 film, which had an incredible cast including Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Chris Evans just to name a few, saw Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc solving a possible murder. It’s certainly worth watching if you didn’t catch it when it originally released.
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other film news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
