FILM 2158: KNIVES OUT (2019)

TRIVIA: Despite playing his mother in the film, K Callan is over six years younger than Christopher Plummer.

The police detective heard on the television series Marta's sister is watching is voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, billed in the film's credits as playing Detective Hardrock. Gordon-Levitt has appeared in all five of the films Rian Johnson has directed.

Rian Johnson contemplated cutting Blanc's doughnut speech, but Craig convinced him that it was good. Watching the actor deliver it sold him on keeping the entire thing.

Both the title; 'Knives Out' and working title 'Morning Bell' are tracks from the album 'Amnesiac' (2001) by the English rock band Radiohead.

The name of the character, Harlan Thrombey, is oddly close and possibly an homage to the title of a popular 1980's 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book by Edward Packard entitled, "Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?"

Segan and Stanfield pitched Rian Johnson (jokingly) on a spin-off for their detective characters called Okay Cops. "And the tag line is 'They're fine.'"
