Knives Out 2: Glass Onion Trailer Teases A Murder In Greece
Netflix has released the first trailer for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which is a sequel to Knives Out. In the new film, Daniel Craig's detective character Benoit Blanc returns to solve another murder.
But this time, the crime takes place in Greece. Edward Norton plays a tech billionaire named Miles Bron who invites his «nearest and dearest» friends on a trip to his private island in Greece. Someone turns up dead, of course, and Blanc is called in to help solve the case.
In addition to Craig and Norton, the cast includes Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed the first Knives Out, returns in the same roles for the sequel.
The title Glass Onion is a reference to the 1968 Beatles song of the same name. «I'll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word 'glass,'» Johnson told Netflix's Tudum. «There's got to be some good glass songs.I was like, 'Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?' The first thing that came up, because I'm a huge Beatles fan, is 'Glass Onion.'»
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will be released in theaters (at a date to be announced later) before coming to Netflix around the world on December 23, Netflix announced.
Netflix bought the rights to multiple Knives Out sequels for hundreds of millions of dollars. Johnson and Craig are each reportedly getting paid $100 million for the movies.
