There are shoots like that where, a priori, the cast really has a good time. This has been the case for the entire cast of Glass Onion, which arrives December 23 on Netflix.
How do you occupy your free time while filming a detective film when strict Covid protocols prevent you from leaving the hotel? For the actors of Glass Onion: a story at knifepoint, the solution was simple: play murder parties on the roof of the hotel.
“I literally throw murder parties at my house and dress up for fun“, Janelle Monáe casually reveals to Deadline. So it was a no-brainer.”This guy“, she says of director Rian Johnson, “left handwritten, medieval-style notes under our hotel room door saying, ‘You’re invited…’“
“Everyone played the game“, adds Daniel Craig. But was he up to solving the murders of his fictitious double Benoît Blanc?
“I am a very good actor“, he says with tongue-in-cheek humor.”I was just there for the fun of the game. My plan was basically to look like the bad guy all the time.“
The real competitor? Kate Hudson, according to Edward Norton. “Kate and her husband were accusing each other and it was like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. I was like, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t have spouses in this game…’“

“It was a pleasure to be able to bond with everyone“, enthuses Janelle Monáe in the columns of Entertainment Weekly, speaking of the time spent together solving the mysteries of Johnson.
“That’s what it’s all about: the human experience. It’s the people you have these experiences with that make them so fulfilling and rich.“
The film finds Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, trying to solve a new case. This time, he finds himself on a yacht and a private island in Greece, where he seeks to understand why he was invited to participate in a murder party weekend among a group of rich friends, who each have their own secrets. .
