For all those who love watching Rian Johnsonâs murder-mystery âKnives Outâ that ultimately became a massive hit, thereâs good news. After hitting the right note with the audience, the filmmaker is now considering a sequel to the hit film.
At pre-Golden Globes party this last weekend, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Rian Johnson on his thoughts on the sequel and the filmmaker was too quick to indulge us in the news of part 2 to the hit film âKnives Outâ. The movie had âJames Bondâ actor Daniel Craig playing a detective with a Southern accent, Benoit Blanc. When asked for a part 2, Rian said he is already developing another case for Daniel Craigâs Benoit Blanc.
Ok Iâm going to be very honest right now - Iâve had that thought

The studio that bankrolled the film is yet to confirm though. Meanwhile, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake told The Hollywood Reporter that he is looking forward to reading the script. This could possibly hint at the filmâs scripting being incomplete at the moment.
Rian Johnsonâs producing partner Ram Bergman also said, âDaniel (Craig) had so much fun doing it, and he wants to do more.â The Bond actor was even nominated for his role in the film in the best actor in a comedy/musical category.
