12 Biggest Reveals We Learned From CinemaCon 2019
12. Rian Johnson's Knives Out Looks Bloody
Johnson’s lone film to come between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and his untitled Star Wars trilogy has a cast you wouldn’t believe. Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Don Johnson, Katherine Langford, and Jamie Lee Curtis flesh out the ensemble that will make up Knives Out.
SlashFilm said of the clip, “A family has gathered to celebrate their father’s birthday, but the festivities are cut-short when the father is murdered.”
Johnson explained he sought, “An Agatha Christie story, mashed-up with a Hitchcock thriller and an all-star cast, set it in modern America.”
THR reported that Curtis took the stage to clarify the film as a, “family gathering that turns bloody very quickly. These people put the 'dis' in dysfunctional.” The Last Jedi may have been polarizing, but Knives Out so far seems to be a sure-fire hit for all parties.
Knives Out will be released November 27, 2019.
