Jamie Lee Curtis opens up about why she was surprised by KnivesOut's success. 'I was actually quite isolated. I was living in this weird hotel by myself, and a lot of the movie, I'm not in.'
Knives Out star Jamie Lee Curtis explains why she was surprised by the film's success. The Halloween actor starred in Knives Out as Linda Drysdale, the eldest daughter of the 85-year-old best-selling crime novelist Harlan Thrombey who emerges as one of the many suspects when Harlan turns up dead and Benoit Blanc begins investigating.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Daniel Craig led the star-studded Knives Out cast as the private detective alongside Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer.
I was actually quite isolated. I was living in this weird hotel by myself, and a lot of the movie, I'm not in. I was alone for a lot, and it was a very tough time. It turned out to be this fantastic movie. I would never have known that the movie we were making was the movie that we made. It wasn't evident to me, because Ryan was so specific in his methodology, and it's not like we're all watching monitors and seeing all the work. We had no idea.
Can Knives Out 2 Outdo The Original's Success? During production, it's understandable that Curtis was unsure how Knives Out would turn out and therefore, was surprised by its success. However, in retrospect, the film's success is hardly an enigma, but rather a consistent career trend for the writer/director. Johnson made his directorial debut with Brick in 2005, which was met with similarly positive reviews and box office success for a low-budget mystery movie.
Johnson has a nearly spotless track record, which is why expectations are sky-high for his follow-up. Knives Out 2 early reactions have already indicated the sequel might be better than the original. This is sure to raise expectations exponentially, so it should be interesting to see how audiences respond to the Knives Out sequel when it premieres on December 23. Although this time around, the whodunit's success won't be measured by box office totals, but by Netflix streaming numbers.
