Toni Collette discusses the KnivesOut sequel: 'I think it’s more about Benoit Blanc'
After nabbing an Oscar nomination for “Knives Out,” director Rian Johnson said he’s already working on a follow-up to his acclaimed whodunit. So what’s in the cards for the sequel? Toni Collette dropped some hints while at Variety’s Sundance Studio presented by AT&T.
“I haven’t spoken to [Johnson] about it, but from my understanding, I think it’s more about Benoit Blanc, and another investigation,” Collette said, referring to Daniel Craig’s character, a cunning private investigator with an unplaceable accent.,” Colette played a lifestyle guru and daughter-in-law of famed author Harlan Thrombey. Her character invoked shades of Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop empire.
Lyn’s feature is based on the true story of a Welsh barmaid who convinces her entire working-class community to rally behind raising a racehorse. Collette admits portraying a real person is a “huge responsibility,” but wanted to play her because “she’s looking for passion and meaning in her life.” The film challenges the notion that training horses is reserved for the elite. “The story is about ordinary people competing with millionaires,” Lyn said. “[Vokes] persuades everybody in the village to put in 10 pounds a week.”Loading comments...For inspiration in his upcoming rom-com “Palm Springs,” Andy Samberg turned to a galaxy far, far away. The film — which premiered at Sundance and also stars Cristin Milioti and Camila Mendes — takes place at a wedding in California.
