Knives Out: Rian Johnson says he wants to make a sequel with Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc with new cast, setting

Knives Out follows a family gathering gone horribly awry, after the family patriarch’s death leads a master detective to investigate. Filmmaker Rian Johnson hopes to make more mystery films like his upcoming directorial Knives Out, with Daniel Craig’s character being the main pivot. In an interview with Syfy Wire, Johnson said he wants to follow the template made famous by iconic author Agatha Christie if he decides to make another film in the whodunnit genre. Johnson compared the film with his previous directorial Star Wars: The Last Jedi, saying, “It’s weird, you would think a big production like ‘Star Wars’ would be a different thing; end of the day, you’re working with a camera, a couple of actors trying to make a scene work, it’s really a similar thing.” “ The Last Jedi, obviously, you’re making a Star Wars movie, so you’re aiming for a lot of different things, but it felt as personal to me as any of the other movies I’ve made,” he added.
