Director Rian Johnson expressed his lament over Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery having the title of the first installment in the sequel . The filmmaker wanted the film saga to stand alone and would’ve liked it if there wasn’t a reference to the previous movie. With a third film confirmed , Johnson is giving the marketing team suggestions as to what could be the subtitle of the next installment and wants it to namedrop the lead character’s name. “The thing is, though, I totally get it. It’s not like this was done against my will or something. I completely understand it,” Johnson told The Filmcast . “Because after the first movie, I think people knew that they liked Knives Out [but] they didn’t necessarily know it well enough to know who Benoit Blanc was. I think that would’ve gotten blank stares. And I wanted everyone who loved Knives Out to know that [ Glass Onion ] is the next one of those. So I absolutely 100% was on board and totally got it that we had to … [Read more...] about ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ Director Rian Johnson Suggests New Subtitle For Next Installment

For at least some of you 10,000 or so Academy Awards voters, it’s not too late. You’ve still got 33 hours to have some fun with your Oscar ballot, to shake up the race and to put some awesome new stats in the record books. And it’s easy. All you have to do is follow the lead of your brethren at the Producers Guild of America (to which a lot of you belong anyway), and nominate not one, not two, but four blockbuster sequels for the Best Picture prize. How delicious would it be to see the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences follow the PGA by handing nominations to that multibillion-dollar quartet Avatar: The Way of Water , Top Gun: Maverick , Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (yes, a streamer)? Overnight, the awards contest would be transformed, from a chess game among pinched sophisticates moving important little pictures around the board to an all-out slugfest among heavyweights with big studio backing and a … [Read more...] about C’mon Voters: The Oscars Could Use A Little Sequel-itis

“Can people come back?” asks Mia, the cute little girl whose increasingly hair-raising antics are the crux of this atmospheric Midnight premiere from Australia. From the dead, she means, and it’s a macabre thought that Daina Reid’s effective but perhaps overlong debut feature film plays with quite tantalizingly, right until the end. Although the tease may wear down commercial audiences expecting to find out one way or the other, Run Rabbit Run will find favor on the arthouse and especially the festival circuit. Like a lot of recent genre films with female leads —  eg Ari Aster’s Hereditary or Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook — Reid’s film takes place in a time of fresh bereavement or recent marriage trauma. In this case, it’s both: Sarah ( Sarah Snook ), Mia’s mother, is dealing with her father’s death, but the hammer blow comes when her ex-husband announces that he and his new wife are trying for a baby, something she thought they’d both drawn a line under when they were a … [Read more...] about Sundance Review: Daina Reid’s ‘Run Rabbit Run’
