BREAKING: Director Rian Johnson has just announced that he is laying the groundwork for Knives Out 4, following the recent release of Knives Out 3, now streaming on Netflix. In a revealing discussion with Entertainment Weekly, Johnson shared that he has begun to sketch out initial concepts for the next installment of his acclaimed mystery series.
While details remain sparse, Johnson emphasized that Daniel Craig‘s beloved Southern detective still has plenty of stories to tell. “I have some basic, elemental, conceptual ideas,” Johnson stated. He referred to these as “kernels” of inspiration, hinting at a creative journey that is just beginning. However, he was quick to clarify that these concepts are still in a very early stage and nothing has been solidified.
Johnson confirmed he will take a temporary break from the franchise to focus on an original project before diving deep into the fourth installment. “I don’t have actual concrete ideas,” he stressed. “I don’t have a theme yet, I don’t have a location. It’s really pretty vague.”
This approach reflects Johnson’s belief that each Knives Out film should resonate with the emotional and social dynamics of its release period. “Part of making these movies, for me, is reacting to the present moment,” he explained, indicating that the timing and cultural context are vital in shaping the narrative. This means fans may have to wait until Johnson feels creatively aligned with the next chapter of American life before he commits to writing the screenplay.
For those eager to indulge in more of Johnson’s unique storytelling, Knives Out 3 is currently available for streaming. As the franchise continues to captivate audiences, many are left wondering what new twists and turns await in Knives Out 4.
