Rian Johnson talks about the making of Glass Onion: A Mystery of Blades and said he complained about the film knife out in its title.

Johnson did his best to make a sequel to his 2019 hit knife out it would be its own standalone story, with only detective Benoit Blanc coming across from the first film.

“I did my best to make them independent. Honestly, I am outraged that we have this A Knives Out Mystery in the title,” Johnson said in an interview with The Atlantic. “I just want it to be mentioned glass onion.”

Johnson added, “I understand, and I want anyone who enjoyed the first film, to know that this is the next in the series, but what also appeals to me is that there’s always a new novel in the series. But there is a thousand suns of attraction to serials.”

The filmmaker, who also directed and wrote the screenplay in 2017 Star Wars: The Last Jedialso attempted to bring the film to an end despite it being the second film in a trilogy.

“Regarding the war of stars film I did, I tried to give it a good ending. I love endings so much that I even tried to finish them in the middle chapter of the trilogy,” he explained. “A good ending that recontextualizes everything that came before it and turns it into a beautiful object – that’s what makes a film a film. It feels like there is less and less of it. This whole toxic idea of ​​creation [intellectual property] has completely seeped into the basics of storytelling. Everyone just thinks How do we milk it further? I like an ending where you burn the Viking boat in the sea.
