Director Rian Johnson’s critically acclaimed whodunit murder mystery “Knives Out” will get a sequel. The first part received rave reviews from the critics as well as the audience. Johnson assembled a star cast led by Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas for the whodunnit murder mystery. The Lionsgate project released in India on November 29 last year.
During Lionsgate’s third-quarter earnings call, CEO Jon Feltheimer said that a sequel to “Knives Out” is officially a go, hinting a production start for a follow-up to the money-making film, reports deadline.com.
The news comes as the film starring Daniel Craig, which earned Johnson his first Oscar nomination for his Original Screenplay, is nearing the $300 million mark at the worldwide box office. It was one of the three films to come out during Lionsgate’s fiscal Q3 along with “Midway” and “Bombshell”. As a result, film revenue rose 30 per cent in the quarter, the company said.
