This year’s London Film Festival closed with ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’

“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” is a sequel to the 2019 movie “Knives Out” starring Daniel Craig. He was in the role of detective Benoit Blanc. On the closing day of this year's London Film Festival, the stars expressed happiness at seeing the film industry return to form after the pandemic. While interacting with a section of the media Daniel Craig said – "It's just wonderful to be here at the London Film Festival on the closing night. Especially with the standard of film this year, which has been so amazing - to be in that number is just exceptional." Apart from Daniel, others in the cast include Edward Norton, Kate Hudson and Janelle Monae. Incidentally, Greece was one of the locations chosen for the shooting. That helped the actors to bond better. In the words of Craig - "I mean, it was an amazing experience. We were under lockdown, so we were kind of restricted in our movements so we couldn't really go very many places. It was about 150 degrees in the shade, but, you know, those are high class problems." Daniel Craig tells of filming new Knives Out movie in Greece during lockdown at London Film Festival. Kate Hudson, who portrays the role of a former supermodel turned designer, said the cast got on brilliantly. In her words - "It was good fun, with a lot of hard work in between, you know?" However, we were a good work-hard, play-hard cast, so we were very well suited for each other, we had really good times. It was COVID, so it kind of forced us to have to play with each other for three months, so we ended up getting really close and it was really fun."

Writer and director Rian Johnson had brought out the first “Knives Out” to the London Film Festival three years ago. About working with Kathryn Hahn, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monae, he said, “it's absolutely kind of a director's dream, made my job very easy." Early reviews for the film are very positive and the attention now turns to the third. In 2021, Netflix concluded a deal for two Knives Out sequels. It was reportedly worth almost £400m. Rian Johnson says he and Craig are very happy to keep going. Audiences in the UK will have to wait a little longer for “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” It will not hit the cinemas in the UK until November, and will come on Netflix the following month.
