Esquire talks to the actor and director ahead of the much-hyped Netflix 'Knives Out' sequel
meant that we could then more freely start having a conversation and it was possible to go, 'Okay, well, let's talk about it, because clearly if we want to do it we probably can.'was as fun as it looked and that's not always a good thing when making movies. You can have a lot of fun on movies and they’re terrible. But because everybody worked so hard and brought so much to the table, we were always in a good place so there was room to laugh.
I had a Jacques Tati thing that I wanted to get in there, that's what the hat is and you don’t see it in the first scene but I'm wearing bright yellow socks, which is a thing withhat's not going to happen but I threw a ball in that general direction.film has a new cast. Rian, did you have anyone in mind when you started writing these characters?Just this guy [points to DC]. No, I try not to do that.
We imagine parallels will be drawn between the characters and real-life examples, can you tell us about the inspirations you drew from?: I found that if I drew parallels too closely to any specific people it got very boring very quickly. So in a way, I almost had to disconnect and just step back and write much more general characters. But in general, the familiarity, I love that because a big part of the reason for doing these movies is to take the genre and set it very much in the present.
Rian, as this is your first sequel, were there any particular nerves? And Daniel, as someone used to reprising a character how did you feel about doing it again for Benoit?I was a bit terrified but then I just dove in. We wanted this to be very different than the first one and for it to have its own reason for being, we didn't want this to be a continuation or a repeat of the first.
