Once in a while a movie comes along that feels like it belongs to a whole other era. ‘Knives Out’, the newly-announced American Express gala at the BFI London Film Festival, is definitely one of those films: an Agatha Christie homage-stroke-pastiche that, judging by its trailer, will be shot through with macabre wit, joyously arch performances and a postmodern streak. In short, it looks like a riot.
The murder-mystery’s star-studded cast features – deep breath – Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Lakeith Stanfield, Michael Shannon and Christopher Plummer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time Captain America, 007, Laurie Strode, General Zod and Captain von Trapp have all shared a screen – and possibly a red carpet. It’s a heady line-up and it’ll be wowing festivalgoers at the gala on October 8.
