Rian Johnson on making GlassOnion: “If anything, going into it was a little scarier even than the StarWars movie, because the first one, when we made it, it was in such a vacuum and we had no idea if people would be into this kind of thing.”
. What can be safely said about “Glass Onion” is that it involves a tech billionaire who invites a group of old friends and colleagues to his private island for a weekend murder mystery party, and that his plans quickly go off-course.
As much as the movie draws from crime fiction, it also pulls from a wellspring of other cinematic references, such as Guy Hamilton’s 1982 “Evil Under the Sun,” starring Peter Ustinov as Agatha Christie’s detective Hercule Poirot, and Herbert Ross’ 1973 “The Last of Sheila.” “The cast hadn’t seen the movie yet, and so for them to experience it for the first time with a crowd like that — it made me feel good that they felt really good,” Johnson said.
And then the fact that people enjoyed it and the fact that it was popular — when you put something out there, this happens anyway, but especially, I think, in this case — it becomes something outside of you and you kind of forget how you made it. And so, it was scary. I’ve never experienced nerves quite like actually sitting down to write something. I also spent 10 years planning “Knives Out,” whereas this, I was kind of starting from scratch.
You seem to take particular pleasure in writing the character of Benoit Blanc. Why do you enjoy writing for that character so much?When I wrote the first one, I didn’t know who was going to play him. I really didn’t know what the character was going to be like, oddly. I started writing and I think I had it in my head, “Let’s create a new, iconic Poirot.” And I manufactured all these quirks and it got terrible.
