Director Rian Johnson explains how Daniel Craig helped to create a subtle character hint in Glass Onion, improvising a seemingly minor line.
Rian Johnson's script breakdown of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery demonstrates how Daniel Craig helped to create subtle character hints in the murder-mystery film. The standalone sequel to Johnson's 2019 film Knives Out brings back central detective Benoit Blanc and puts him on an island with tech billionaire Miles Bron .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson breaks down Glass Onion's murder mystery game scene, including one moment that he and Craig came up with during rehearsal. In proving that Birdie was the murderer in Bron's game, Blanc's final piece of evidence comes when he declares that the locket hanging around Bron's neck is the only piece of his outfit which doesn't match his "breezy island style.
“When I’m in the process of rehearsing with the actors, I am never precious about the words, actually. I’m precious about why the words are there. Most of the time, we end up just doing it as written, but if we can ever beat it, or find a little thing that makes sense and amplifies it, I always take joy in that.
Famously, one of the key differences between Johnson's interpretation of Blanc and Craig's was the detective's Southern accent. One of the few things Johnson told Craig about the character was that Blanc was meant to have a “light southern drawl," and Craig ultimately decided to give Blanc a much heavier, very-noticeable accent instead.
With Johnson giving his actors free rein to experiment with their characters, the collaborative effort between Johnson and Craig has seemingly contributed to Glass Onion's massive success by making Blanc a memorable character audiences enjoy watching. Little improvised comments like Blanc's about Bron's style seem so throwaway, but are in fact incredibly relevant to the film and to making the characters come alive.
