Delighted really liked the first.

Missus loves a good murder

Dave Bautista has also joined the cast.

Good for Craig's bank account.

I really enjoyed the first one. It was just a good old-fashioned whodunnit, and you knew the cast were having a blast filming it.

Sort of. It sort of inverts the concept too. The setup is that we see her do it. We feel sorry for her. We're rooting against the detective, sort of. It's not just a well done whodunnit, but a little cleverer than that. It's a small thing, but it freshened the format up.

Did you notice her taking notes?

Realistically, when would this be expected to be released, considering it's not exactly a huge effects movie or anything?

She's often mentioned the ways she'd finish me off when I reach max life assurance

She's everywhere at the moment. Anything comedy, especially dark comedy you can expect her to make an appearance.

According to various sources but him and Johnson are getting a paycheck of around 100 million. Not bad.

CastorTroy · 14-06-2021 8:16pm

Jessica Henwick added. Says she rounds out the cast so guess she's the last to join.

He's in everything :pac:
The Rock would be sweating if he wasn't a one man media empire at this stage.

JP Liz V1 · 29-06-2021 7:38pm

Jada Pinkett Smith has joined

Mr Crispy · 29-06-2021 11:23pm

It hasn't been officially announced, but there's talk that Ethan Hawke has joined too.

johnny_ultimate · 13-06-2022 5:44pm

This has an official title: ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’.

Glass Onion is a perfect combination of words IMO 😂

Johnson has a bit of a spiel about it here:

https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/1536378456153260033?s=21&t=gSAzWgvTbDS7ST-7iG0AVQ

“When I made Knives Out, that’s what excited me about the prospect of making more mysteries with Daniel as Benoit Blanc - to emulate Christie and have every film be like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, reason for being… and (ta dah) title.”

FunLover18 · 13-06-2022 5:52pm

Very excited about this, I imagine we'll get a proper trailer soon.

im in two minds, loved the first one but i have the fear that theyll be dragging the arse out of the concept by doing a sequel

Agent Coulson · 13-06-2022 6:02pm

Netflix paid $469m for the two films.

The budget for this one is $30m - $50m according to wikipedia so if you say the same kind of budget for the 3rd one that brings it in at around the $100m mark.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Onion%3A_A_Knives_Out_Mystery

Is the other $369m that Netflix paud going on the wages of the all star cast and the director?

No wonder Netflix share price is taking big hits.

johnny_ultimate · 13-06-2022 6:07pm

The deal was only for the rights AFAIK, likely wouldn’t include the actual budget for the films - although Johnson and Craig and Johnson’s producer Bergman all likely got a very nice payday out of it, and their money therefore may not be included in the actual production budget as a result.

It was an absolutely insane deal that made no financial sense for Netflix other than to secure some guaranteed prestige sequels to an acclaimed film. Couldn’t be happier for Johnson and co though - they made out like bandits, and rarely has a director so earned their success.

speedboatchase · 13-06-2022 7:11pm

Netflix have made some horrible deals in the past, and this will prove to be another.

Reminder that the new, $100m movie from Top Gun Maverick's director, starring one of its stars (Miles Teller) and Thor himself (Chris Hemsworth) is released on Friday and nobody has any idea it exists.

$370 million for rights is insane. This can't end well for Netflix as this stage, they can't keep throwing around crazy money like this and expect it all to come up roses. At some point somebody's gonna want returns on these numbers.

JP Liz V1 · 22-08-2022 2:49pm

December 23rd Netflix

johnny_ultimate · 22-08-2022 2:56pm

It's the closing screening of London Film Festival on October 16th with 'simultaneous preview screenings' across the UK.

Last time that happened was for The Irishman and that included Irish screenings alongside the UK ones, so hopefully that'll be the case this time around too.

Agent Coulson · 22-08-2022 3:04pm

I can see Netflix going to cinemas a lot more now with big budget films to try and get some extra money in.

pixelburp · 08-09-2022 3:02pm

Certainly looks a lot more lavish and extravagant than the first film; hopefully it's not one of those sequels where "more" of everything results in a less satisfying whole.

Still remains an obscene, insane amount of money paid by Netflix - just for streaming rights. Seems a shame it won't be available for viewing in the cinema.

CastorTroy · 12-09-2022 10:17pm

Reviews coming out of the Toronto Film Festival are positive
