With a third Knives Out movie Wake Up Dead Man in cinemas before it hits Netflix writer- director Rian Johnson has been doing the rounds promoting the film and talking about the future of Daniel Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc. One of the wilder ideas that has sprung up on the internet (of course) is that of a Knives Out Muppet movie. Rian Johnson apparently loves the idea but went on to explain…..
‘On the Internet the notion of a Knives Out Muppet movie comes up a lot, and I wanted to get you guys together here so that I could explain why that’s a bad idea. It’s not a ‘bad idea,’ but I love and respect Muppet movies too much, and also Benoit Blanc movies. They’re so different. The reality is, if you put Muppets in a Benoit Blanc movie, it would feel totally wrong because they would be getting murdered. The alternative is to just stick Benoit Blanc into a Muppet movie, which admittedly would be very fun, but would kind of break the reality of what Blanc is. Which is all to say: I would just love to do a regular awesome Muppet movie!”
As for the trilogy of movies so far he says, ‘“The murder mystery is a genre that I really love, it’s a form that I really love, so I had been cooking for about a decade a notion of how I would attack it…and I had some very specific structural ideas of things it would be fun to try. Finally, after Star Wars, I sat down and wrote this little murder mystery and thought, ‘Well, this will be a one-off!’”
