Rian Johnson Wishes That He Could Have Test Screened The Last Jedi

Directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out was a critical success when it opened in theatres last year, receiving praise for its witty screenwriting, direction, and enigmatic characters. The film starring a talented array of performers such as Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas earned multiple nominations during the awards season, including one for Best Original Screenplay at the 92nd Academy Awards.

The film had generated positive buzz before its release thanks to its well-received test-screenings.

Knives Out was a commercial hit, earning $312 million (USD) worldwide against a reported budget of $40 million (USD), so it’s no wonder the director is smiling from ear to ear. As of now, Johnson is developing a follow-up to Knives Out, with Daniel Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc set to return to investigate a new mystery. With any luck, we’ll get fed with doughnut holes in doughnut holes in doughnut holes in doughn-…
