The film "Knives Out – Murder is a Family Matter" has chances for a gold boy at this year's Oscars. Director Rian Johnson (46, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi") is nominated in the "Best Original Screenplay" category. The crime comedy with stars like Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson and Ana de Armas turned out to be a surprise success, with critics and viewers. Now it is certain that a sequel will follow. This was announced by "Deadline" Jon Feltheimer (68), head of Lionsgate.
Rian Johnson had previously stated openly that he would like to continue shooting. "It was great to work with Daniel, (…) the idea of continuing it would be a blast," the director said in January of "Deadline". At the time, however, he pointed out that a screenplay was necessary first. How far the project has progressed is not yet known.
