It looks like Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson are trying to squeeze in an original movie project before getting back to James Bond and Star Wars, respectively—Deadline reports that the two are teaming up for a murder mystery film called Knives Out.
Inspired by the works of Agatha Christie, Knives Out is a “modern day murder mystery in the classic whodunit style,” with Craig starring as a Poirot-like detective. Johnson is writing and directing the film, and co-producing with his longtime filmmaking partner Ram Bergman. Together, the duo has made Brick, The Brothers Bloom, Looper, and a little-known indie film called The Last Jedi.
