I remember Rian Johnson said he wanted future movies to be called “A Benoit Blanc Mystery” but I guess Netflix didn’t let him.

Unfortunately you can't. Some people still think of these movies as the mysteries with James Bond in them 😄

[@ed1rko17]

Johnson has spoken about being a fan of Christie's genre hopping with murder mysteries. Since the first was a fairly traditional whodunnit, and Glass Onion was a bit more of a sci-fi/comedy/satire, I had a feeling he was going to take a darker turn with the next one. This teaser suggests that's exactly what he's doing. I have a feeling it will be akin to Branaughs tonal shift into A Haunting in Venice, and I am here for that.

[@Largentina.]

What parts of Glass Onion featured science fiction?

[@taliyeth]

@@Largentina. Klear, I guess

[@Largentina.]

@@taliyeth Yeah, no. Definitely not.

[@BCLICK56]

Agree on the genre-hopping, disagree on the sci-fi.

[@ed1rko17]

@@Largentina. Well the genre is a mystery whodunnit with other influences. For example, A Haunting in Venice isn't a horror movie, it's just horror influenced. Glass Onion isn't sci-fi, but Niles Bron's compound and his tech, especially the mineral that could ignite the worlds atmosphere introduced a bit of sci-fi flavour to it.

This is, so far, the best movie series Netflix has picked up to produce. First movie was solid but made by a different company. Glass Onion was fun and didn’t turn to crap after Netflix got their hands on it. This could be a massive movie collection by the time they may wrap it up

[@JoaoFederle]

thats because netflix only picked up the distribution rights. they don't produce these movies and they don't own the rights. rian johnson does.

The only reason it might be in a theater at all is to satisfy Oscar rules for consideration, otherwise it would not be. Netflix is a streaming service, y'know?

[@mtgiraffe]

I saw Glass Onion the one week it was in theaters, and it was packed, and it was such a better experience than watching it at home later. Glass Onion could’ve been a phenomenon *and* made Netflix a lot of box office money. I really hope they learned their lesson and will let people see this on the big screen first. I’ll still watch it again on Netflix!

[@Hexagonal_Goblin]

@@mtgiraffe Glass Onion was great in the theatre. It had such a classic feel, it only felt right to see it on the big screen with a bag of popcorn. So bummed Netflix got the rights and blocked a proper theatrical run, I’ll move heaven and earth to see this one in theaters as well.

[@ethanbuckley1942]

@@mtgiraffewhen I saw it in theaters it was nearly empty, but it was also a matinee over at Disney Springs so I imagine most people there had other plans in mind. I'm glad to hear that in other theaters it was packed, and I remember reading that some industry analysts noted that the movie made way more than they expected at the box-office, even with the limited release, and that with a wider release and proper marketing it could've been more successful than the original. Maybe Netflix will learn their lessons and open Wake Up Dead Man nationwide? Definitely not, but we can hope!

[@robbieking4070]

Here’s hoping Rian can do it for the third time in a row. I loved both Knives Out and Glass Onion so I’m on board for another hilarious case with old Ben.

Usually the titles are named after a song. Is this one a U2 reference?

[@SKarlet312]

I think so!!!

[@nickparton5663]

Hope not. Terrible song

[@nickdorenkamp959]

titles can also be named after or reffered to a place where the crime will be committed. They can be named after simple phrases. All of which have something to do with the word secret which in this case the title of each these Knives Out movies do. The first refers to how secrets are like knives while the second refers to secrets are also like onions because of the layers. But this title refers to where secrets can be found and who doesn't keep them. The collection of Knives seen in the first, the glass onion in the second, and the blackletter font commonly seen in newspapers all represent secrets out in the open with the person revealing those secrets being a person who is dead because the dead have no secrets. It may not be coincedence they chose to name this new film after that song.

I appreciate this is a huge nit pick but why does Benoit Blanc say "in the beginning"? Knives Out was not his first case. He's supposed to be a pre-established great detective.

There were forty-nine Charlie Chan movies, so we could keep going with these forever, so long as Dan Craig feels like playing the character. And from all reports, he loves Benoit.

Dear Netflix, Can we start introducing the franchise or series as *"A Benoit Blanc Mysteries"* instead of knives out. Because it's annoying and doesn't make any sense. We don't care about the first movie we already past that a long time ago. It's time to move on. Besides Benoit Blanc already have a character brand, massive following, and a huge number of avid fans. So it's not only appropriate, it's also marketing wise. Thank you

[@thecuriousnerd3396]

@@cyber_gypsygaming7452 Nahh...Netflix should start marketing it as Benoit Blanc especially if they're going to make more movies in the future. So audience or fans will collectively follow the detectives future cases/adventures. That way it feels fresh or there's always something to look forward to rather than keep referring it on the first movie which feels stuck and dated already. I'm not sure who is Netflix marketing team but they should definitely think about changing it.
