It’s also a declaration to audiences that each Knives Out movie would be a new adventure, varied in tone and style. Johnson wanted Glass Onion to be different to Knives Out in the same way that The Mysterious Affair at Styles was different to Death on the Nile. “She was bringing in different genres, flipping the script and subverting your expectations.” “You were getting a completely different deal with every new book, and that meant setting, characters and story. “The one thing did, book-to-book was she completely flipped it up,” he gushed. It’s what gave him the confidence to move from the cosy manor house to the brash private island, taking with him only Craig’s Benoit Blanc. The filmmaker has never hidden his deep love for Christie’s work, repeatedly citing the icon’s writing as the inspiration for this whole venture. Rian Johnson said Agatha Christie is a direct influence for his Knives Out movies. It’s the familiarity of a Christie-esque mystery with the twist of the contemporary. It’s Johnson’s ability to straddle the old and the new that propels Knives Out and Glass Onion to great heights.
