Rian Johnson, the director of the hit 2019 murder mystery movie ‘Knives Out,’ has provided a special audio commentary called ‘Glass Onion’ that’s now available on Netflix. The director’s commentary is named after a line from the Beatles song ‘Glass Onion.’ The audio commentary provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and Johnson’s approach to the story and characters.
‘Knives Out’ was a critical and commercial success, earning more than $300 million at the box office worldwide and receiving a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 92nd Academy Awards. The movie has an all-star cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, and Christopher Plummer. The movie tells the story of a wealthy patriarch’s death and the subsequent investigation, which reveals a web of family secrets and lies.
The release of the ‘Glass Onion’ commentary on Netflix is a treat for fans of the movie who want to learn more about its creation. It’s also a great way for aspiring filmmakers to gain insight into the process of making a hit movie. Johnson’s approach to the movie was to subvert audience expectations of the murder mystery genre, and this commentary sheds light on how he achieved that goal.
‘Knives Out’ was produced by Media Rights Capital and distributed by Lionsgate. Johnson is currently working on a sequel to ‘Knives Out,’ which is set to star Daniel Craig reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc. The sequel is expected to be released in 2023.
