Hit Mystery Film Knives Out Is Officially Getting A Sequel
<p dir="ltr">Fans of Daniel Craig and ludicrous Southern accents rejoice: Rian Johnson's critically-acclaimed whodunit is getting a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/knives-out-sequel-on-the-way-will-focus-on-daniel-/1100-6472506/">follow-up</a>. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer announced the sequel as part of the company's third-quarter <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/02/lionsgate-rides-film-gains-to-q3-revenue-beat-but-earnings-miss-forecasts-1202853384/">earnings call</a>. The film picked up <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/knives-out-review-a-razor-sharp-deconstruction-of-/1900-6417295/">critical buzz</a> following its release late last year, which has translated into a strong box-office performance, with a worldwide gross quickly approaching the <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3204875777/">$300 million</a> mark.</p><p dir="ltr">Best-known for directing the sharply-divisive Star Wars entry <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-the-last-jedi-review/1100-6455575/">The Last Jedi</a>, Johnson had already indicated in <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/knives-sequel-works-centered-daniel-craigs-detective-character-1266533">interviews</a> that he wanted to make a follow-up to Knives Out, with Craig's gentlemen detective Benoit Blanc taking on a new case. Feltheimer also hinted that Lionsgate feels that the film has franchise potential.</p><p dir="ltr">In our Knives Out <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/knives-out-review-a-razor-sharp-deconstruction-of-/1900-6417295/">review</a>, Rafael Motamayor praised the movie as a "razor-sharp deconstruction of the whodunit genre." The film isn't Johnson's only foray into the genre--his directorial debut Brick played with the conventions of mystery fiction, with a more hard-boiled twist. As for Craig, you can see him in the upcoming Bond flick <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/no-time-to-die-everything-we-know-about-the-upcomi/2900-3255/">No Time to Die</a>, which comes to theatres in April.</p>
