To better help acquaint you with this line-up, new videos introducing you to theKnives Outcharacters have arrived. Watch them below.
Knives Out Characters – Toni Collette as Joni Thrombey
First, let’s meet Joni Thrombey, played by Toni Collette. She’s a lifestyle guru promoting “Flam”, which is clearly meant as a send-up of Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Goop” movement. Joni is one of several Thrombey family members considered a suspect in the death of Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer), a wealthy mystery novelist.
Knives Out Characters – Michael Shannon as Walt Thrombey
Next up is Michael Shannon’s Walt Thrombey, one of Harlan’s children who – according to this video, at least – is the new acting CEO of Harlan’s lucrative publishing company.
Knives Out Characters – Jamie Lee Curtis as Linda Drysdale-Thrombey
And here’s Jamie Lee Curtis as another of the Thrombey children, Linda Drysdale-Thrombey, a real estate mogul. “Linda Drysdale, daughter of world-famous mystery writer, Harlan Thrombey, built Thrombey Real Estate from the ground up Let her help you make a killing in the real estate market,” the video caption reads.
These are only three of the many characters in the film, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we got videos for every single one, including Daniel Craig’s famous private detective, Benoit Blanc.
The videos above are amusing, but they only hint at how delightful the movie itself is. As I wrote in myreview, “The game’s afoot and everyone’s a suspect inKnives Out,Rian Johnson’s deliriously funny whodunit. It’s the most fun you’ll ever have trying to solve a murder. Gathering together a killer cast of movie stars and character actors, Johnson has crafted a film that’s both a loving homage to locked room mysteries and a giddy, laugh-out-loud funny comedy that keeps pulling the rug out from under you just when you think you’ve found your footing. It’s a total blast.”
