Exciting: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a sequel to the critically acclaimed 2019 film, Knives Out, which starred not only Daniel Craig, but also Chris Evans and Ana de Armas – the director with Monae
The talented star talked about the number of inspirations for the second film’s premise, which included Agatha Christie and The Last Of Sheila (1973).
‘There are absolutely some very clear inspirations that I took from it. First of all, it’s structured around a group of friends, or frenemies, who all have a power dynamic with one of their successful friends.’
‘It begins with him sending an invitation for them to come and play this murder mystery game at this exotic locale. In The Last Of Sheila, it’s on his yacht, and everything ends up going horribly wrong. That is essentially how Glass Onion begins.’
Original: The first film in the franchise was released in 2019 and garnered critical acclaim, receiving both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations
The filmmaker revealed that Daniel’s character will have a larger role in the central storyline in the upcoming sequel.
He explained that Ana de Armas’s character in Knives Out (2019) was the main protagonist. ‘Whereas, in this one, Blanc gets an invitation to come to this murder mystery on this island. We’re very much meeting these people and getting into this world through his eyes.’
The second film is titled Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and Rian admitted that a Beatles song was the main inspiration to the name.
‘So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear,’ he explained. ‘I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’
‘The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion,’ he concluded.
