GlassOnion: A Knives Out Mystery writer/director Rian Johnson has a wildly enthusiastic response to the idea of a KnivesOut holiday special. 😂🤔
Rian Johnson has an enthusiastic response to the idea of a Knives Out holiday special. The director recently oversaw the second installment in the Knives Out franchise, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. It brings back Daniel Craig's master sleuth Benoit Blanc to solve a new murder mystery involving tech billionaire Miles Bron, played by Edward Norton, and his motley crew of close friends, who are played by Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY One of the most popular fan suggestions has been a Knives Out crossover with The Muppets, which Johnson admits is a fun idea, but says ultimately it wouldn't work. In response to Johnson's tweet, author Kelly Knox suggested another intriguing possibility – a Knives Out holiday special. The filmmaker had an enthusiastic response to the suggestion, simply responding "OH SHIT" in all caps, suggesting he supports the idea.
Considering Johnson's relation to the sci-fi franchise, the Last Jedi director likely has an appreciation for the Star Wars Holiday Special and the legacy it's left behind. This is likely a part of the reason why he's so enthusiastic about the idea of his own franchise, Knives Out, doing a holiday special.
With Knives Out 3 seemingly being Johnson's next movie, he could simultaneously shoot a Knives Out holiday special during production of the threequel, similar to what Gunn did for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. As Glass Onion proved, the Knives Out formula of having Benoit Blanc solving mysteries, each with a new cast and location, functions phenomenally well and could easily be applied to a Christmas setting.
