In a new interview with Netflix’s Tudum, writer-director Rian Johnson admitted to setting the location of “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” on his own personal dream vacation. Rian Johnson Wrote “Glass Onion” to Escape the Pandemic.Writer-director-producer Johnson said, “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 whodunnits, thinking that you’re making a crossword puzzle, and that the fun is that the audience is actually going to analyze all this and figure it out.” “In the follow up to Rian Johnson’s ‘Knives Out,’ Detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects,” the statement reads. We’re finally one step closer to cracking the case of “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” The trailer debuted ahead of the film’s TIFF premiere, and Netflix released an official logline for Rian Johnson’s latest whodunnit. IndieWire’s Kate Erbland praised Johnson’s follow-up whodunnit, writing, “Johnson needn’t worry about a sophomore slump, because while ‘Glass Onion’ holds some resemblance to his 2019 smash hit (stacked casts, lavish locations, Daniel Craig having the time of his goddamn life), this sequel is zippily and zanily its own thrill ride, and Johnson can’t churn these babies out fast enough.” Genuinely, it was just something that I really loved, a genre I loved, and I’m like, ‘Let’s try this.'” “If anything, going into it was a little scarier even than the ‘Star Wars’ movie, because the first one, when we made it, it was in such a vacuum and we had no idea if people would be into this kind of thing. “First of all, it’s not even really a sequel, it’s kind of like another book, basically another mystery with the same detective,” Johnson said. Rian Johnson told The Los Angeles Times that even though “The Last Jedi” was a “proper sequel” continuing from its predecessor (that Johnson did not write), “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” was a tougher script to pen.
