Director Rian Johnson‘s (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) next movie will be a murder-mystery with an A-list cast. Knives Out stars Daniel Craig as the suave southern detective Benoit Blanc tasked with solving the murder of acclaimed crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) after his 85th birthday.
Blanc and his partner, Troy Archer (Lakeith Stanfield), suspect Thrombey’s house staff and quarantine them in an attempt to learn the truth behind his death. “The idea was to take everything I love about a great Agatha Christie story and put it into a new original story set in modern-day America,” Johnson told Entertainment Weekly. The film also stars Chris Evans, Toni Collette (Hereditary), Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, and many more.
Check out the trailer above and catch Knives Out November 27.

Trailer’s here! I love it but as always… it doesn’t give anything major away but it does show things that are most enjoyably seen for the first time in the movie. If you want to come in totally clean, you know what to do. And now without further ado… #KnivesOut pic.twitter.com/sw2uIdMNGI
