Taking a page from the likes of Agatha Christie, Rian Johnson’s fully back on the crime beat for the first time since the excellent Brick. Here, he’s got a murder mystery yarn to spin, Daniel Craig in full accent form and a host of suspects played by fun, famous folk. Check out the new trailer for Knives Out.
The inciting incident for this one is the suspicious death of of Christopher Plummer’s family patriarch Harlan Thrombey, a crime author fittingly enough, who winds up croaking at his 85th birthday party. But there’s a twisted web of secrets, lies and family arguments for Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc to unravel before the truth can come out.
With Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell also making up the cast, Knives Out will find its ways into UK cinemas on 27 November.
