The mammoth cast of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, sidestepped spoilers and jumped over plot lines as they presented their film Sunday morning at a London Film Festival press conference.
Opening the presser, Johnson addressed the one plotline that sneaked out following the film’s debut at the Toronto Film Festival last month: The posthumous performances of Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim.
“They were so kind and so generous. We thought, my God, would either of them ever do it? We didn’t think they would. And both of them were so cool,” Johnson said.
Johnson added that he traveled to Lansbury’s home to shoot her scenes for the film, and she didn’t understand much of the script but told him to coach her through.
“For both of them, besides just the honor of having them in the movie, personally just being able to have 10 minutes with each of them to tell them what their work has meant to me was really special,” Johnson added.
Johnson was joined at the presser by castmembers Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline, Jessica Henwick, producer Ram Bergman, and Daniel Craig, who also paid tribute to Lansbury. He told press corps that Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Lansbury’s 1971 fantasy classic, was his favorite film.
“The fact that she’s in our movie, we were so blessed, and what an incredible life she had,” he said.
Glass Onion is the first Knives Out film from Johnson that Netflix will release after the streamer paid some $450 million in March 2021 for two-sequel rights to the original murder mystery franchise. It remains among the biggest streamer movie deals ever.
