Knives Out 2 Plot
Detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to solve the mystery involving a troop of new suspects. Johnson had written the script and while he is going to direct and produce with Ram Bergman under their T-Street banner. Johnson tweeted the following about Knives Out 2 plot
“Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively. I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true. It wasn’t just settings or murder methods, she was constantly stretching the genre conceptually. Under the umbrella of the whodunnit, she wrote spy thrillers, proto-slasher horrors, serial killer hunts, gothic romances, psychological character studies, glam travelogues. 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”
Produced by LionsGate, the first Knives Out film was a surprise hit at the Box Office. Rian Johnson earned an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. Later, Netflix won the rights for the sequel in a massive $400M+ deal for two sequels and establishing a franchise for the streamer.
