    Daniel Craig Allegedly Set to Earn Over $100 Million for Two 'Knives Out' Sequels

    The ‘No Time to Die’ actor is expected to receive a huge earning from his deal with Netflix after being signed on for two more installments with director Rian Johnson.

    AceShowbiz –
    Daniel Craig is reportedly set to cash in more than $100 million (£72 million) after signing on for two “Knives Out” sequels.

    It was reported earlier this week (beg06Apr21) that Craig will be reprising his role as quirky detective Benoit Blanc for two follow-up films to the 2019 hit, with Rian Johnson on board to return as writer/director.

    And while sources said at the time that the deal was worth over $400 million (£290 million), insiders told The Hollywood Reporter that Netflix paid a staggering $429 million (£311 million) to be able to exclusively stream both movies.

    The new report also stated how the money will be divided – with Daniel, Rian, and his producing partner Ram earning more than $100 million each for the next two films.

    Rian is also said to have been given full creative control over the movies.

    “Yes, it’s overpaying, but Netflix is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers,” an insider told the outlet. “It takes a proven theatrical commodity off the board and puts it in their pocket. And it’s another way they re-educate audiences to think of streaming and their company above a studio.”

    The original “Knives Out” was made for $40 million (£29 million) and went on to earn over $311 million (£225.6 million) at the international box office.

    The plot is still kept under wrap, but Daniel Craig won’t reunite with his onscreen family in the upcoming “Knives Out 2”.

    “The Thromby family is in family counseling and the therapist suggested they stay away from Benoit Blanc in the future,” recently tweeted Jamie Lee Curtis who starred in the first one.

      Jamie Lee Curtis Clears Up Rumors of Thrombey Family's Involvement in 'Knives Out' Sequels

      by

      Lionsgate

      While writer/director Rian Johnson is bringing back Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc for the follow-ups, the Lynda Drysdale depicter informs fans that many of the original cast ensemble will not take part.

      AceShowbiz –
      Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed she and the rest of the colorful characters of the Thrombey family won’t be returning for the “Knives Out” sequels.

      Writer/director Rian Johnson is working on back-to-back sequels for Netflix, and he’ll be bringing back Daniel Craig as quirky detective Benoit Blanc, but his castmates in the original will not be part of the whodunnits.

      Curtis, who played Lynda Drysdale in the first “Knives Out”, writes, “To clear up any rumors, the Thromby family is in family counseling and the therapist suggested they stay away from Benoit Blanc in the future.” She added her character “was fine as she kicked her loafer wearing p**ck of a husband, sorry @donjohnson to the curb.”

      And then wrote, “Ransom is apparently in the knitting sweater business, a new skill he picked up in the slammer. Joni has some vaginal scented bath bomb, Walt is self publishing his memoir. NONE of us will be joining Mr. Blanc in Greece. As the family spokesperson we wish the filmmakers all our best in their new venture.”

      Don Johnson played Lynda’s husband, Richard Drysdale, in the first “Knives Out” movie. Chris Evans, Toni Collette and Michael Shannon portrayed Hugh Ransom Drysdale, Joni Thrombey and Walt Thrombey in respective order, and other cast members included Christopher Plummer, Keith Stanfield and Ana de Armas.

      It was revealed the first “Knives Out” sequel will be shooting in Greece later this year. This two follow-up deal Netflix made reportedly worth over $400 million, making it one of the biggest projects to hit the streaming service. In the meantime, its original film was released in 2019, and has since collected over $311 million worldwide.

      Daniel Craig looks set to return to screens as quirky detective Benoit Blanc for two “Knives Out” sequels after walking away from James Bond.

      Netflix bosses are reportedly closing in on a deal to make two follow-ups to the actor’s 2019 hit, with Rian Johnson on board to return as writer/director. Sources tell Deadline the deal will be worth over $400 million (£290 million), making it one of the biggest projects to hit the streaming service.

      The original film was made for $40 million (£29 million) and went on to earn over $311 million (£225.6 million) at the international box office. In addition to Craig, it has Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield and Christopher Plummer in its cast ensemble.

      If all goes well, production on the first sequel will begin in Greece at the end of June – over three months before Craig’s delayed swansong as 007 in “No Time to Die” reaches theaters.

      In early February 2020, Johnson shared his thought on the possible sequels. During a chat on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show”, the director initially admitted, “In my mind I don’t even think of it in terms of a sequel.”

      “Ever since we started working on this… look, if we can keep this going, the same way Agatha Christie wrote a bunch of Poirot novels, and then do that with Blanc and keep making new mysteries,” he continued. “Whole new cast, whole new locations. It’s just another Benoit Blanc mystery.”
