Knives Out [DVD] [2019]

Product Information

Along with a whole new cast and setting, the new Knives Out mystery will also have a new title: Say goodbye to Knives Out2 and hello to Glass Onion. What’s the significance? True to puzzle-box form, it’s got quite a few different hidden meanings, but the most important one is linguistic. “I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death,” Johnson told Tudum. It’s also a description of the film’s setting: Tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) has built a lavish glass dome on his private island — a monument to his supersize ego.

In addition to Christie novels, he took inspiration from "tropical getaway murder mysteries" like the film adaptation of Christie's Evil Under the Sun and especially The Last of Sheila, [19] saying: "It's structured around a group of friends, or frenemies, who all have a power dynamic with one of their successful friends. It begins with him inviting them to come and play this murder mystery game at this exotic locale. In The Last of Sheila, it's on his yacht, and everything ends up going horribly wrong. That is essentially how Glass Onion begins." [7] Johnson wanted the film's title to refer to something hidden in plain sight. He chose "glass" because it is clear, and he searched his phone for songs with the word. He decided " Glass Onion" by the Beatles. [7] The song is featured in the end credits. [19] The first name announced for the sequel was Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista, who has already spoken about being "really nervous" about the sequel, adding that the script is "brilliant".

Johnson said he was "pissed" that A Knives Out Mystery was added as the subtitle, originally intending the film to be titled Glass Onion and act as a standalone story. [37] [54] While he said he understood the need for audiences to understand that Glass Onion was part of a series, he believes that "the whole appeal to me is it’s a new novel off the shelf every time" and that there is an industry trend with "the gravity of a thousand suns toward serialized storytelling". [55] Theatrical and streaming [ edit ] I think the best thing going for this film is that it takes place in a modern time. Typically stories like these are antiquated and old-timey, and so I really appreciate the effort put into this mystery being in our current time. However, I really do think this film was overhyped and there's probably a lot of rational reason for that. For one, I don't think this type of mystery generally plays to the audience that it had in mind. Whodunits and mysteries of this sort are from the past, so generally your audience is going to be much older. You can see that in some of the casting in this film, however there are some newer players to the game in this one as well. Libbey, Dirk (January 23, 2023).
