Rian Johnson reveals how he came up with the identity of 'Glass Onion's killer.
A good murder mystery needs a killer at the core of it. A hole to fill a donut, if Benoit Blanc's particular phraseology fits the bill. For Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the sequel to his phenomenally successful Knives Out, director Rian Johnson pinpointed his latest killer as a tech mogul with a gigantic ego - and that meant, as a result, the entire film had to be bigger in scale and gloss.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY When deciding why Miles would be the killer — after all, this is a man who invited friends to a murder mystery weekend a week after committing a murder — Johnson explained that he wanted it to be a colossal idiot, a man who believed his own hype and therefore could get away with it, before ultimately being brought down by his own lack of intelligence.
Speaking to Empire via their Spoiler Special podcast on the movie, Johnson expanded on this, admitting he settled on the idea of Miles being the center of the puzzle from the very beginning.
