Read Rian Johnson’s KNIVES OUT Script
Back in November, we were hit with The Last Jedi and Looper writer-director Rian Johnson’s all-star murder-mystery Knives Out starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, and Christopher Plummer.
And today we have the film’s screenplay for your reading pleasure.
Check out the script HERE.
The film begins when renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey dies just after his 85th birthday and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc arrives at his estate to investigate. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Thrombey’s untimely demise.
It features a – no pun intended – killer cast including Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, Chris Evans as Hugh Ransom Drysdale, Ana de Armas as Marta Cabrera, Jamie Lee Curtis as Linda Drysdale, Michael Shannon as Walter “Walt” Thrombey, Don Johnson as Richard Drysdale, Toni Collette as Joni Thrombey, Lakeith Stanfield as Detective Lieutenant Elliot, Katherine Langford as Megan “Meg” Thrombey, Jaeden Martell as Jacob Thrombey, Noah Segan as Trooper Wagner, Edi Patterson as Harlan’s housekeeper, Riki Lindhome as Donna Thrombey, K Callan as Wanetta “Great Nana” Thrombey, Frank Oz as Harlan’s lawyer, M. Emmet Walsh as Mr. Proofroc, and Christopher Plummer as Harlan Thrombey.
Knives Out is written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Johnson along with Ram Bergman. Lionsgate released it back on November 27, 2019.
The film received three nominations at the 77th Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture, Best Actor for Craig, and Best Actress for de Armas. Have you seen it yet? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
