The post “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” Was Worth Waiting For appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Glass Onion takes us to a private Greek island, owned by the tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). He sends an invitation in the form of an elaborate puzzle to his inner circle, but their perfect holiday is disrupted by the arrival of Daniel Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc. He quickly hijacks Bron’s make-believe murder mystery, making room for the real, much more compelling case to unfold.
Like with the first Knives Out film, one of Glass Onion’s strongest suits is its A-list cast. Janelle Monáe brings some gravitas to a rare comedic role, while Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, and Leslie Odom Jr. round up the cast as Bron’s “disruptor” best friends, each one proving as the perfect pick for their respective characters.
The group’s dynamic, informed by their complicated shared past is one of the film’s driving forces. From Hudson’s washed-up supermodel to Bautista’s men’s rights activist, they’re all dependent on Bron and clear reflection of real-life celebrities and powerful figures occupying modern headlines and social media.
Glass Onion is a perfect satire for the Elon Musk era and does a great job deconstructing the myth of billionaire “geniuses” without hitting us over the head with the metaphor. At the end of the day, it also gives us what we came here for—a great murder mystery that only Benoit Blanc could solve, making us look forward to more adventures in Rian Johnson’s ever-expending franchise.
Rating: 4.5/5

]]>Knives Out 2 will see Rian Johnson writing and directing once again while Daniel Craig is set to return in the role of detective Benoit Blanc. Previously added cast members include Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, and Kathryn Hahn.
The plot of the sequel is being kept under wraps, but moviegoers can expect another murder mystery that will keep them on their toes until the very end. The latest reports say that the movie will begin filming this summer in Greece.
Even before Knives Out was released, Johnson said that he already has an idea for the sequel and would like to create a franchise centered on detective Blanc. It became clear that this is a real possibility once the movie earned universal acclaim from the critics while earning $311 million at the box office.
Then in March 2021, streaming service giant Netflix announced that they had purchased the rights for not one but two Knives Out sequels. Reportedly, the deal was worth more than $400 million and came with several clauses. This included Daniel Craig staying in the same role and budget of the sequels having the same or bigger budget as the original.
