“Day one of filming on the next Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanks to all the lovely patient people here in Greece for letting us do all this murdering on their peaceful shores,” he added.

“Knives Out” (2019) is a murder mystery film that explores the circumstances of the tragic death of the patriarch of the wealthy and dysfunctional Thrombey family.

The first film starred Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc, and an all-star cast that includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Plummer, Toni Colette, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell.

Craig is reportedly set to star in two sequels of “Knives Out” after ending his longtime stint as James Bond in the 007 franchise. —JCB, GMA News
