Recently we heard that Lionsgate had green lit a sequel to 2019’s incredibly successful Knives Out.

Now, in a new interview with Variety, director Rian Johnson has briefly commented on plans for the sequel. As expected Johnson is looking to bring Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc back and surround him with a new mystery and a new cast.

“It’s going to be Daniel (Craig) playing Benoit Blanc, the detective. Other than that, all bets are off. It’s a totally new cast,” Johnson said at the Oscars. He continued, “I want everybody! Just point. Throw a rock on this red carpet and you’ll hit someone that I want in the movie,” Johnson said.

Are you excited to see the further adventures of Benoit Blanc?

Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick,Looper,Star Wars: The Last Jedi) pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie in KNIVES OUT, a fun, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect.  When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate.

It’s been a while since we had an update on Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy. Fans will remember that following the release of the divisive The Last Jedi it was announced that Johnson would be helming a series of films set outside the main storyline of the franchise.

In a new interview with Observer, Johnson explained crafting the new films’ storylines and he additionally confirmed that his movies will indeed remain entirely separate from the rest of the universe.

“I think that the fun and challenging part of it is to dive in, figure out what’s exciting and then figure out what it’s going to be,” said Johnson. “We’re doing something that steps beyond the legacy characters. What does that look like? To me, the blue sky element of it is what was most striking about it. I know the way that I’m coming at it and what’s fun about it for everyone in George Lucas’ films is figuring out, ‘what’s the next step?’ It really makes you think and figure out what the essence of Star Wars is for me and what that will look like moving forward.”

Are you still excited to see Johnson continue to explore the world of Star Wars?

Late last night rumours began to circulate that Rian Johnson’s planned Star Wars trilogy was being cancelled by the studio. Unsubstantiated reports claimed that following the lacklustre fan response to The Last Jedi and Solo‘s failure at the box office, the new trilogy was to be indefinitely postponed.

Following the news fans began to bombard the director on his social media accounts looking for a comment.

Eventually Johnson responded to a fan confirming that he is still working on the trilogy. Work on the movies began following their formal announcement back in November of 2017.

With the rumour debunked all eyes now turn back to when the first of these movies may arrive in cinemas.

No it isn’t true, I’m still working on the trilogy. With all due respect to the movie bros, who I’m sure are lovely kind bros with good fraternal intentions.

— Rian Johnson (@rianjohnson) February 14, 2019

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is beginning to lose steam at the box office. In North America this weekend the gross fell an estimated -52% but was still able to make $11.2M. It now places at no.6 in the top ten box office for the week ending 14th January.

Globally the story is a little more positive. With a $1.26B gross it has now become the most profitable films of 2017. In doing so the film overtakes another Disney release, Beauty and the Beast. In the list of world-wide highest grossing films of all time is currently sits in the no.10 slot.

The news from China is however not great. We know that Star Wars has never been a big deal in the Middle Kingdom. The Last Jedi is no exception to that rule. In its second week in cinemas the film has lost an estimate 90% of its screens.

It’s current Chinese gross is $38.8M and is unlikely to climb much higher at this stage.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis, as well as Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran.

The film is in cinemas worldwide now!

Deadline is reporting that Star Wars: The Last Jedi has cracked the top 20 highest grossing movies of all time list. Taking in to account its gross on Tuesday the film is reportedly now at $1,090.8M (just under $1.1B) worldwide. That gross is made up of $539.3M from North America where the film has now overtaken Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Internationally the film has made $551.4M following another hugely successful weekend around the globe. According to Deadline we here in the UK are nearing the $100M mark with a gross of $95.3M, followed by Germany($65.1M), France ($51.2M), Japan ($44.9M) and Australia at $36.7M.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis, as well as Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran.

The inevitable has happened: Star Wars: The Last Jedi has crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Taking only 18 days to cross the landmark that makes it the fourth fastest film to do so in history.

The Last Jedi lags behind only Furious 7, Jurassic World and The Force Awakens in terms of speed.  But whilst The Force Awakens was able to cross the $2 billion mark there’s little chance its follow-up will be able to do the same.

In this latest video interview for the movie director Rian Johnson talks crafting Rey’s story:
