Rian Johnson’s love of the genre certainly comes through in Knives Out — and not just with Benoit Blanc’s convoluted explanation.
This helped propel the movie far past anyone’s expectations, garnering more than $200 million at the box office and an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
Knives Out was such a hit with audiences that Lionsgate readily greenlit a sequel, which will once again follow the detective as he solves another murder.
When it hits theaters, we can expect another thrilling mystery — and probably another totally nonsensical explanation of how it all went down.
