It’s almost time, Knives Out release day looms closer and closer every day and we cannot wait.
Knives Out is a spin on the classic “whodunnit” starring Chris Evans, Christopher Plummer, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, LaKeith Stanfield, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Jaeden Martell, Katherine Langford, Jamie Lee Curtis and Daniel Craig. The film follows a tumultuous, deceptive family in the aftermath of the sudden death of their patriarch on the night of his 85th birthday and the detectives in charge of the case — and they suspect foul play and have ruled out no suspects.
Johnson hasn’t just churned out a wink-wink spoof of the classical drawing-room mystery… with its ingenious twists and turns, he has crafted an intricate puzzle-box narrative worthy of the genre’s brainiest practitioners. -Justin Chang ‘Los Angeles Times’
In light of the massive success the film had at the Toronto International Film Festival, director/writer/producer Rian Johnson has blessed us with character posters and breakdowns paying homage to the master of the genre, Agatha Christie.
