(UTV | AMERICA) – Netflix has officially announced a December 23rd premiere date for Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” the first of two planned sequels to his celebrated 2019 update of the Agatha Christie murder mystery formula.
Daniel Craig reprises his role of detective Benoit Blanc and is joined this time by the likes of Kathryn Hahn, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monae, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline.
Johnson has previously indicated that like Christie, the plan is to constantly stretch the murder-mystery genre conceptually with each outing. This one appears to take a spin on the famed holiday-style Christie mysteries like “Evil Under the Sun”.
In the film, a tech billionaire (Norton) invites his nearest & dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island. It’s not long before someone turns up dead.
