EXCLUSIVE: Knives Out 3 to shoot in the UK
Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role of private detective Benoit Blanc in the third Knives Out feature, currently setting up to shoot in the UK.
The film is directed by Rian Johnson, who helmed the original Knives Out and the sequel, Glass Onion. He also produces alongside Ram Bergman.
The producing pair’s T-Street recently inked a two-film deal with Warner Bros, as reported on Deadline.
A modern-day whodunnit, the original Knives Out was filmed mainly in Massachusetts with Craig heading up an ensemble cast including Christopher Plummer. It went on to win a BAFTA, three Golden Globes and an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
The sequel, Glass Onion, came out last year on Netflix. That was filmed largely in Greece where the majority of the story was set.
