Knives Out was one of the best films that premiered at this month’s Toronto International Film Festival and now Lionsgate has provided a brand new trailer for the Rian Johnson whodunnit. The film boasts one of the best casts of the year and one of the most original screenplays despite the story being steeped in classic murder-mystery territory.
Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, 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. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death.

There’s a little bit of a wait to see the film – it won’t hit cinemas until the run-up to the holiday season on 27th November, but trust us, it is well worth the wait.
