The #1 film on Netflix proper now could be Glass Onion, Rian Johnson’s follow-up to his hit thriller movie Knives Out. Pointedly, the film will not be referred to as Knives Out 2. It does characteristic Daniel Craig as grasp detective Benoit Blanc, however in any other case Glass Onion has a very totally different forged of characters amidst a very totally different thriller. Technically, you could possibly watch the 2 films in both order and it could make little or no distinction.
Still, Knives Out got here first, and have become the shock smash that satisfied Netflix to pony up a number of hundred million {dollars} for 2 follow-ups. Naturally, they need individuals to know that Glass Onion is linked to Knives Out, and so the movie’s official title is technically Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. According to Johnson in an interview with The Atlantic, that was a call that left him “pissed off” as a result of he “tried hard to make [the films] self-contained.”
As he put it…
I’m pissed off that now we have ‘A Knives Out Mystery’ within the title. You know? I would like it to simply be referred to as Glass Onion. I get it, and I would like everybody who favored the primary film to know that is subsequent within the collection, but additionally, the entire enchantment to me is it’s a brand new novel off the shelf each time. But there’s a gravity of a thousand suns towards serialized storytelling.
What an eloquent manner of summarizing a wholly miserable sentiment! Still, I suppose a useless subtitle is a small worth to pay for a extremely good film — and doubtlessly an ongoing collection of actually good films. And Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery remains to be a greater title than Knives Out 2: Glass Onion.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix.
