If you marveled at Kate Hudson's svelte figure in 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' then you are one of us. Hudson looked stunning in her orange bikini in pool side scenes of the film which was released last week on Netflix.&nbsp; 
 
Now, the actress has joked bout her diet while she was filming the scenes.&nbsp; 
 
Hudson made the gag on ITV`s 'This Morning' show on Wednesday, while discussing her poolside scene where she wears an orange two-piece. She said about abstaining from booze being drunk by other cast members to keep her figure, "When everybody was having Aperol spritz, I was waiting for that scene to be shot. So, I was like, 'I'll just have that cucumber."&nbsp; 
 
Hudson added about getting involved in the film, which also stars Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, "When we found out they were doing a second one (`Knives Out`), I was like gonna barrel (director) Rian Johnson`s door down. I was like, `I want in.` We were really locked down together because of COVID." 
 
"It was right at the peak of Delta (the COVID variant) so we couldn`t go anywhere. We`d rent out a bar, do murder mysteries and then have parties. That`s how we kept entertained." 
 
Hudson, who plays Birdie Jay in the 'Knives Out' sequel, previously recalled during an interview that the cast enjoyed wild parties during filming due to lockdown, "We had so much fun. It was at the height of Delta and we were in Belgrade, Serbia so the producer was like, 'You are not leaving this hotel.'" 
 
"Which is kind of like a nightmare in itself but they would rent the bar upstairs and we would just, you know, the circus got up there and we just started drinking. And when the circus starts drinking, things get weird and we had a blast." 
 
'Knives Out 2' has Daniel Craig reprising the role of detective Benoit Blanc who travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colourful suspects, played by Edward Norton, Janelle, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

World's richest man. Tech tycoon. Social media mogul.&nbsp;Elon Musk goes by many labels, but is he also the inspiration for Netflix's new whodunnit 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery'?

In the movie, a detective played by Daniel Craig investigates a murder on the private Greek island of tech billionaire Miles Bron.

Bron, played by Edward Norton, is a brash entrepreneur and self-proclaimed genius who has made multiple fortunes with different companies. He delights in confounding those around him with his latest whims and riddles.

Since the mystery-satire first premiered at the Toronto film festival in September, critics have noted parallels to Musk, who founded SpaceX, runs Tesla and recently bought Twitter.

Vanity Fair said the film skewered "the foolish, and at times dangerous, messianics of the tech industry," calling Miles a "melange" of Musk and Steve Jobs. 
 
Meanwhile, Mashable noted the film's "none-too-subtle scathing and silly send-up of Elon Musk."

"If you think the shoe fits, then they were probably in our conversation," teased Norton at a Los Angeles press conference on Tuesday.

"But I also think Miles is kind of like the Carly Simon song 'You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you'," he added.

"I think a lot of (tech billionaires) will think it's about them. And that's fine!"&nbsp;

Writer-director Rian Johnson ("Star Wars: The Last Jedi") said the character was not based on just one real-life figure. He told journalists that "taking the piss out of any specific person just was not all that interesting."

But, he said the movie was about "our relationship as a society to these Willy Wonka characters who we, on one hand, want to throw elephant poop at, but on the other hand... have some weird childlike wish that they will actually create a chocolate factory and solve all our problems."

Musk has recently drawn widespread criticism over his troubled purchase and controversial revamp of Twitter.

Daniel Carig starrer 'Glass Onion' teases Elon Musk parallels

Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" will start streaming on Netflix from December 23, the streamer has announced. Also written by Johnson, the upcoming film is a sequel to the 2019 movie "Knives Out".

The streaming platform on Monday night also released the first look of "Knives Out 2" in which Daniel Craig, who reprises the role of detective Benoit Blanc, attends a glamorous dinner party.

In the follow-up film, Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colourful suspects, played by Edward Norton, Janelle, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

"When tech billionaire Miles Bron (Norton) invites some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, it soon becomes clear that all is not perfect in paradise. And when someone turns up dead, well, who better than Blanc to peel back the layers of intrigue?" Netflix said about the plotline in a press release.

Jamie Lee Curtis was 'surprised' to learn that the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/netflix-shows-off-its-power-in-venice-film-festival-410370">Venice Film Festival</a> 2021's Lifetime Achievement Award has been bestowed upon her.&nbsp;

Talking about the most memorable bit from the set of her film 'Halloween kills'--which will premiere at the festival on September 8--she said, "When I saw Kyle Richards and Nancy Stephens [from the original Halloween], I realized the passage of time and how long we’ve all been a part of this story. There was a moment where I ran into both of them early on. And it was very emotional because Kyle Richards was little Lindsey, a little girl I’m babysitting in [Halloween]. And she’s now a full-grown woman, living a very wonderful life. The passage of time was extraordinary. In this film, we are telling more of the story of Laurie Strode and Lindsay and Marion, Nancy’s character, and that we’re all survivors. And it was a great moment of survival and pride."&nbsp;

'Knives Out 2' now gets Leslie Odom Jr. on board

Much like the first part, the casting of 'Knives Out 2' is turning out to be a star-studded one. American singer-actor Janelle Monae is the latest star to have joined the cast of the film which is being helmed by Rian Johnson.&nbsp;

Monae joins actor Daniel Craig in the film, who reprises his role from the 2019 whodunit movie as enigmatic southern detective Benoit Blanc. Apart from Monae and Craig, Edward Norton and Dave Bautista are also set to appear in the new installment, written and directed Johnson.

Johnson is also set to produce with Ram Bergman under their T-Street banner. Plot details are being kept under wraps but the follow-up will be another star-studded murder mystery anchored by Craig`s character Blanc.

The original `Knives Out` starred Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas, Christopher Plummer, Michael Shannon, and Toni Collette, among many others.

In March, Netflix bought the rights to `Knives Out 2` and `Knives Out 3` for USD 468 million, after `Knives Out` earned more than USD 300 million at the box office.

The 2019 murder mystery also garnered an Oscar nomination for Johnson`s original screenplay. It is currently unclear whether or not any of the original film`s cast members will join Craig for the new murder mystery, which is planning to start production in Greece this summer.

An eight-time Grammy nominee, Monae burst onto the Hollywood scene with breakthrough performances in 2016`s `Hidden Figures` and the best picture Oscar winner `Moonlight`.

Since then, the 35-year-old star has featured in film and television projects including `Harriet` opposite actor Cynthia Erivo, `Welcome to Marwen`, `The Glorias`, the lead role in the second season of Amazon`s `Homecoming` and last year`s thriller `Antebellum`.

In addition to her work onscreen, Monae is also the CEO of the Wondaland arts society multimedia company, which includes the Wondaland Pictures production banner and Wondaland Records label.&nbsp;

Netflix buys 'Knives Out' sequels for this huge amount, Daniel Craig to return

Hit murder mystery 'Knives Out'&nbsp;is set to become a whodunit movie franchise, with Daniel Craig's Southern gentleman sleuth tackling a brand-new set of suspects, its creator told AFP.

The 2019 movie was a massive success for writer-director Rian Johnson, previously best known for the divisive blockbuster 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi.'

An Agatha Christie homage about a family patriarch murdered in his sprawling mansion, "Knives Out" on Tuesday passed $300 million at the global box office, despite a budget of just $40 million.

"It's always been in my head that if this one does alright, then it'd be really fun to do more of these," said Johnson.

The film was nominated for the best original screenplay Oscar -- losing out to history-making 'Parasite'&nbsp;-- and last week studio Lionsgate confirmed a sequel.

"It's really more like another case, another set of suspects, another type of mystery, but with Daniel's Benoit Blanc character there to solve it," said Johnson.

He has begun writing the second film, with plot details under wraps -- "I'm just starting to fish around... There will be a murder, I can say that!"

But there will be "a whole new cast and whole new location and everything."

The first film boasted an impressive ensemble cast including 'Captain America'&nbsp;Chris Evans, soon-to-be Bond girl Ana de Armas and veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis.

"That's the other fun thing about thinking about the next one... what other actors could we rope into this?" said Johnson.&nbsp;

- 'Wood-paneled rooms' - 
Johnson first came up with the notion of 'Knives Out'&nbsp;a decade ago.

Having dedicated four years to making 2017's space epic 'The Last Jedi'&nbsp;for Disney, Johnson was itching to quickly switch to something galaxies away from that "big filmmaking world."&nbsp;

"I had a great time working on 'Star Wars'... I genuinely enjoyed that aspect of it," said Johnson.

But the idea of a film "we could make quickly, and just have some fun with actors talking in wood-paneled rooms -- you can see how that would be appealing," he added.

Johnson remains linked to a brand new 'Star Wars'&nbsp;trilogy, announced in 2017 but plagued by rumors it had been canceled after the experimental 'Last Jedi'&nbsp;enraged die-hard fans.

"I still have a great relationship with Lucasfilm, and nothing's been announced," said Johnson.

- 'Foghorn Leghorn' - 
Beyond the traditional detective formula, 'Knives Out'&nbsp;earned praise for its comedic aspects, including its satirical look at the wealthy family's prejudices.

And, of course, there was British 007 actor Craig's drawling "deep South" accent, based on the late American Civil War historian Shelby Foote.

"It ended up being kind of Shelby Foote by way of Foghorn Leghorn," joked Johnson.

"He would go, 'Was that too much?' And I'd say, 'No keep going!'"

The accent drew scorn from some viewers, but Johnson insists Craig's deliberately "humane and clownish" accent was "never just like a joke."

"It takes a really, really good actor to go big and stay real."

Although Craig is the only actor resuming his role, social and class themes from 'Knives Out'&nbsp;are likely to return.

The genre provides the perfect chance to tackle social issues without appearing to lecture or preach, said Johnson.

"In a whodunit, you have this little microcosm of society with your group of suspects," he said.

Just as Christie used the genre to turn "the lens on contemporary British society of her time," the franchise offers "a great opportunity to me to set it modern-day in America and turn the lens on ourselves a little bit," he added.

Knives Out&nbsp;is released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD by Lionsgate on February 25.

Top 5 Hollywood news today: BAFTA nominations list out, Knives Out sequel, Ramy Youssef's speech

For all those who love watching Rian Johnson’s murder-mystery ‘Knives Out’ that ultimately became a massive hit, there’s good news. After hitting the right note with the audience, the filmmaker is now considering a sequel to the hit film.&nbsp;

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 ‘Knives Out’. The movie had ‘James Bond’ 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 Craig’s Benoit Blanc.&nbsp;
