For those who have the first Knives Out movie on DVD, it makes sense for Netflix to release it. This could have been written into the contracts when Netflix won the bid to distribute it.

Retrieved October 7, 2022.Johnson wants each Knives Out mystery to take on a wildly different energy from the previous one. Just as Benoit Blanc is inspired by Hercule Poirot, the writer-director is inspired by Poirot’s creator, Agatha Christie. “It wasn’t just settings or murder methods, [Christie] was constantly stretching the genre conceptually. Under the umbrella of the whodunnit she wrote spy thrillers, proto-slasher horrors, serial killer hunts, gothic romances, psychological character studies, [and] glam travelogues,” Johnson said in his tweets announcing the title. “When I made Knives Out, that’s what excited me about the prospect of making more mysteries with Daniel as Benoit Blanc — to emulate Christie and have every film be like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, [and] reason for being.” But also among the guests is Benoit Blanc himself. Bron says he didn’t invite Blanc, but lets him in anyway, amused by whatever prank his guests are apparently playing on him. His idea is that someone will fictionally “kill” their host and the guests have to figure out who and why. Things turn deadly serious and of course the ashen-faced guests turn to Benoit to save them. Johnson described casting the film as "throwing a dinner party". [7] Dave Bautista said Johnson encouraged him to audition during an unprompted call, and Kathryn Hahn secured her role over several Zoom calls with Johnson.

I think the best thing going for this film is that it takes place in a modern time. Typically stories like these are antiquated and old-timey, and so I really appreciate the effort put into this mystery being in our current time. However, I really do think this film was overhyped and there's probably a lot of rational reason for that. For one, I don't think this type of mystery generally plays to the audience that it had in mind. Whodunits and mysteries of this sort are from the past, so generally your audience is going to be much older. You can see that in some of the casting in this film, however there are some newer players to the game in this one as well.Nordyke, Kimberly (January 10, 2023). "Golden Globes: Full List of Winners".
