Writer-director Rian Johnson and cast members Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson and Jaeden Martell on the sharp murder mystery 'Knives Out'
Taking its inspiration from Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries, the movie is about the aftermath of the sudden and shocking death of a wealthy mystery novelist, played by Christopher Plummer.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Riki Lindhome, Jaeden Martell, Katherine Langford and Toni Collette play his family and likely heirs, while the cast also includes Daniel Craig, Lakeith Stanfield and, in a star-making turn, Ana de Armas. Rian Johnson, Don Johnson, Curtis and Martell stopped by The Times’ studio in Toronto to discuss the movie, and the way it slyly comments on contemporary issues of class, race and wealth disparity even while playing as an old-fashioned whodunit.
“The whole idea was not let’s take an old-timey thing and skin it with modern-day life,” said Rian Johnson. “The whole idea was let’s genuinely update this, let’s genuinely take this and plug it into today. And so all the stuff that all of us are dealing with today, that just naturally was going to be in there.”
