Pikachu Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Netflix Buys 'Knives Out' Sequels for $450 Million - Variety Quote Netflix is plunking down an astounding $450 million for the rights to “Knives Out 2” and “Knives Out 3,” the next two follow-ups to the 2019 murder mystery. The films will reunite director Rian Johnson and star Daniel Craig, who teamed up so memorably on the first detective story. The first “Knives Out” was produced by Media Rights Capital, which sold the movie to Netflix. It was distributed by Lionsgate, going on to earn $311.4 million on a $40 million budget. Johnson was nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay. The film gives Netflix a splashy new film series as it faces more competition in the streaming space. In recent months, new challengers such as HBO Max, Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus have emerged to challenge Netflix’s dominance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Wow, those are some big moves. I wonder what Johnson thinks. Probably doesn't care considering the payday he's going to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably doesn't care considering the payday he's going to have. Big payday, plus I assume he’ll have plenty of freedom with these to do pretty much whatever he wants. That seems to be one of Netflix’s big moves, and it usually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I want a Knives Out Cinematic Universe. For example, I want Craig to play the same character in different eras! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his tweet from a while ago where he said Daniel Craig might have different accents in each film, but the movies would never explain it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Awesome. With that much cash, I imagine that Johnson will be able to assemble some equally formidable casts for the sequels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig should play him every few years for the next 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'd happily take a bit more Ana de Armas as well but yeah, good ole Benny B holds it down for sure. That being said, I'm dying to see Ransom get out of prison some how & come for revenge ... then we can get more Ana that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heydude93 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The only concern I have is lack of bluray/UHD release, since it's netflix.

Netflix has put a handful of Blu Rays, but they seem to reserve it for their more “prestige” titles like Roma and The Irishman. Maybe the cash the put down for this series means they’ll take these movies that seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Shooting has officially begun! Craig is the only Knives Out cast member slated to return for the sequel and the already-developing Knives Out 3. Joining him in Knives Out 2 are Edward Norton (Motherless Brooklyn), Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead), Janelle Monáe (Antebellum), Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision), Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami), Kate Hudson (Marshall), Madelyn Cline (Outer Banks) and Jessica Yu Li Henwick (Iron Fist). For the time being, however, their roles are being kept firmly under-wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
