Rian Johnson’s Knives Out just got scooped up by Media Rights Capital at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival, per Deadline.
Johnson will make Knives Out before he directs a new trilogy in the Star Wars universe.
Knives Out is described as a modern-day murder mystery in the classic whodunit style, infused with Johnson’s original voice that informed films from Brick to Looper.
Now fully financed, the film, which will mark Johnson’s directorial follow-up to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, will begin shooting in November with star Daniel Craig.
