Nov 26, 2019 In his new movie, Rian Johnson dusts off Agatha Christie with help from Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Johnson. Knives Out review: Daniel Craig has a blast in a murderously fun whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie. Knives Out is a 2019 American mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson, and produced by Johnson and Ram Bergman.It follows a master detective investigating the death of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. The film features an ensemble cast including Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield.

But the wild card is Daniel Craig’s fabulously named Benoit Blanc, doing a Southern version of Christie’s famed detective Hercules Poirot. The British Craig affects an obvious Southern accent that’s far more Foghorn Leghorn than it is James Bond, and his persona disarms the people he’s investigating because they all but dismiss him as. Daniel Craig to Sleuth His Way Through Murder Mystery 'Knives Out' Rian Johnson will write and direct the movie, which is inspired by the detective novels of Agatha Christie.
