Benoit Blanc investigating Ghostface? Rian Johnson would like to see it. The director took to Twitter to joke about a potential crossover in a future Scream sequel that would see Daniel Craig's southern detective take on the masked murderer.
Knives Out director Rian Johnson has joked about a Scream crossover featuring Daniel Craig's detective Benoit Blanc investigating a Ghostface killer. The 2022 installment in Wes Craven's satirical slasher horror series made a reference to the director's work, which currently includes a second Knives Out film. Craig is returning for Knives Out 2, which is set to be released by Netflix in 2022, while Scream 6 has just gotten the greenlight with plans to shoot the sequel this summer.
Released in 2019, Knives Out introduced the world to Craig's eccentric private detective Benoit Blanc, as he is hired to investigate the death and possible murder of wealthy author Harlan Thrombey . Having to question Harlan's nurse Marta and his spoiled, scheming family, Knives Out threw audiences through loop after loop, subverting popular murder mystery tropes and audience expectations, with critics and audiences praising its cast, writing, and direction.
Johnson's Scream nod fit with the film's theme, as the film's co-writer stated that he had been explicitly inspired by responses to Johnson's work with The Last Jedi. Commenting on how the franchise had often made references to prominent directors at the time of each installment, screenwriter James Vanderbilt stated that they had hoped to explore fandom ownership and toxic fans' responses, taking note of the response to Johnson's work on Star Wars specifically.
While a crossover may not be likely amidst studio rights issues and other factors, fans can at least poke fun at the thought of Craig's detective being dragged into the latest Ghostface case. Despite that though, the Scream franchise and Knives Out aren't too dissimilar, as both were praised for their smart takes on their respective genres. With the Scream franchise set to continue following the latest installment's success, perhaps Johnson may take the helm of a future film. .
