According to The Hollywood Reporter, veteran actor Christopher Plummer (The Last Station, Waterloo, The Insider) is currently in talks to join in the star-studded cast of Rian Johnson’s forthcoming murder mystery Knives Out.
Johnson has been a huge Agatha Christie fan for years, and for over a decade has been plotting his own murder mystery.
Johnson wrote the script for Knives Out, which has yet to release any kind of synopsis but 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.
Plummer is a multi-awarded veteran actor best known for portraying the role of Captain von Trapp in the 1965 musical film The Sound of Music opposite Julie Andrews.
