Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery premieres on Netflix on December 23

COME onboard for a new sneak peek of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the highly-anticipated sequel to Knives Out will be released globally on December 23 on Netflix.

In the first teaser for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, we catch a glimpse of Blanc’s latest case. A mysterious set of invitations, a reclusive millionaire’s private island and a wealthy set of friends tie it all together. Oh, and there’s the small matter of that mysterious death.

“I was writing [Glass Onion] during the lockdown of 2020, and I wanted to be on a beach vacation more than anything,” writer and director Rian Johnson tells Tudum. 

The sun-drenched teaser is full of that beach. Set to the strains of ‘Habanera’ from Carmen (a choice the musically inclined Blanc would likely approve of), the teaser for the new whodunit also pieces together the film’s colourful cast — and gives us a little insight into each of their personalities. Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Madelyn Cline, Janelle Monáe and Edward Norton all get their moment in the sun, before murder casts a shadow on their Grecian holiday.

"The phrase I kept coming back to and talking about the first movie is, ‘It's a roller coaster and not a crossword puzzle.’ It's a common mistake in writing whodunits, thinking that you're making a crossword puzzle, and that the fun is that the audience is actually going to analyse all this and figure it out,” says writer-director-producer Rian Johnson.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will premiere in select theaters on a to-be-announced date, with its global premiere on September 10 at the Toronto International Film Festival. – The Vibes, September 10, 2022
