How faith inspired Rian Johnson’s latest Knives Out mystery

from Q with Tom Power

After director Rian Johnson finished making “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” he didn’t really know how to follow it up. So he decided to bang out a really quick murder mystery script. The result was his 2019 film “Knives Out,” which led to the 2022 sequel “Glass Onion,” which has now led to the third film in the series, “Wake Up Dead Man.” Rian sits down with Tom Power to discuss his latest “Knives Out” movie, the genius and influence of mystery writer Agatha Christie, and how he thinks his religious upbringing has helped the success of his films.
