Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
2022
Greece
Rian Johnson
Whodunit Thriller
What’s it all about: Daniel Craig misses being 007 so he trades in the parlor-murder charm for Edward Norton’s over-the-top Dr. Evil lair on a Greek island. The guests pack light: Janelle Monáe brings a side eye; Kathryn Hahn packs a vintage Laura-Dern aghast look on her face; Kate Hudson brings a video tape of Lesley Ann Warren in Clue and keeps her mother on speed dial; Leslie Odom Jr. brings his ticket from the Orient Express; and Dave Bautista brings a loaded gun in his speedo.
