Screenshot of Daniel Craig: LionsgateBenoit Blanc is tired. There are too many stories about the cast of Knives Out sequelsits. Casting notices seemed like they took weeks. Hollywood's brightest and most powerful joined Rian Johnsons next crime. What does the night sky look like? If all the stars are in Knives Out 2, how will sailors navigate the sea?AdvertisementRian Johnson, apparently also tired of casting, announced today that filming began on the highly-anticipated sequel via Twitter. Johnson tweeted, "Aaaaaaaaaand WERE ALL OFF!" along with a photo of a very expensive camera. Day one of filming the next Benoit blanc mystery. We are grateful to Greece's kind and patient citizens for allowing us to do this murder on their beautiful shores.It seems that the game is on. We don't know what lies ahead for Detective Blanc, the gentleman detective (except that Netflix paid nearly half a million dollars for his next two mysteries). The cast is impressive, despite some frustration at the number of announcements. Dan Craig will reprise the role of Benoit blanc, with Kathryn Hahn and Leslie Odom Jr. joining him, as well as Dave Bautista and Edward Norton and Jessica Henwick.Knives Out was a huge success, earning $312 million worldwide despite a $40 million budget. Rian Johnson, the writer and director of Knives Out was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Johnson and Netflix did not announce the release date. This kept some mystery alive. You can still look for clues, but it is best to leave the solving of mysteries to the professionals.Kathryn Hahn was the murderer, if we had to guess.
