[SPOILERS] KNIVES OUT Cast and Crew Q&A | TIFF 2019

Director Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) assembles an all-star cast — Daniel Craig, Toni Collette, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, and LaKeith Stanfield — in this intelligent whodunit about a famed southern detective (Craig) who joins forces with local police to investigate a group of eccentric suspects following the murder of a wealthy crime novelist (Christopher Plummer).
On the morning after his 85th birthday party, wealthy crime novelist Harlan Thrombrey is found dead on his estate. Famed Southern detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is enlisted on the case and suspects foul play. Everyone is a suspect and, as the reading of the will draws closer and the investigation heats up, Harlan's money-grubbing family begins to be revealed as far more conniving and competitive than they first appear. When Marta (Ana de Armas), Thrombrey's South American caregiver, finds herself entangled in the mystery, it becomes clear that no secrets are safe within the household — not even her own.

A two-time TIFF alum, director Rian Johnson (The Brothers Bloom, Looper) returns with a propulsive mystery, mixing elements of Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie. Exercising his sharp-witted ear for dialogue, Johnson is in top form as a writer here, serving up hilarious and eloquent material for an impeccable cast that includes Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield (also at the Festival in Uncut Gems), and Christopher Plummer — just to name a few. A master in blending genres, and with a keen eye for detail, Johnson employs unexpected cinematic tropes to keep the audience on their toes as the story weasels its way through twists and turns to a shocking conclusion. Irreverent, intelligent, and, most importantly, pure fun from beginning to end, Knives Out is a modern popcorn whodunit of the highest order.

6:20 OMG... Christopher Plummer is almost 90 years old. Respect this man so much. Thanks God if I live to that age and not pee myself publicly.

I saw it yesterday. It brought me back to a place in my childhood when movies were about telling stories in the most fascinating way possible. Knives Out just feels like the fondest movie of my childhood. Suddenly at 20'31" I started clapping in front of my lap

[valamolamb]

Ana de Armas and Daniel Craig making two top movies back to back together. Amazing !! 💓🙌

[chrisairrtov]

I feel like Chris can throw that mic like a shield.

[rockstarrachita]

Chris is so handsome I mean I can't get enough of this man ❤️

[rajanishetty]

As soon as Chris Evans entered I was like 'Wow... he's soo cute' 🙂🙂🙂 Love you Evans ❤❤❤❤❤

[dorkysoul]

Can we talk about Jamie Lee Curtis strutting out

[captainjacksparrow]

The actress that plays the 'Great Grandma' is younger than Christopher Plumber.

[elisedelaserre-xo]

Can’t believe Christopher Plummer was Captain Von Trapp in Sound of Music! He still looks so handsome even in 90 years old of age! And STILL ACTING!

[ajr]

12:47-12:50 why did I know Chris was going to do that

[Robigna]

What an AMAZING cast! Everyone is so talented. The actors who couldn't be there that day, too. I can't wait to see the movie. I only watched a little part of this (until the actors introduction) because I want no spoiler. But I am blown away by this phenomenal cast.

[tamiresalves]

Maybe chris didn't realize that his microphone was making noise, he is an imperative boy 😂😂😂

[zuraidazakaria]

For some unexplainable reason seeing Daniel Craig all smiling and happy makes me happy 😃

[rogue]

Daniel and Anna's outfit in here are quite similar to their Bond outfits

[matthewferreira]

I can’t believe I’m watching this less than 24 hours after Plummer passed away. RIP to a legend

[imyafamiliya]
