Knives Out 3 cast talks about shooting the film

Knives Out 3 recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The cast of the film attended the event and spoke about their experience of shooting the film. Glenn Close revealed that all of them gave each other company during filming.

“Well, when I got the phone call, it was like something out of heaven. I never thought of myself in one of the Knives Out movies, and I was so thrilled to be included. To hear about everyone else who was in it. We just became this wonderful ensemble company. And we kept each other company through the whole shoot,” the actor said, as per a report published by US Weekly.

She added that the cast was always enjoying, reading, and laughing in their tents and got to know each other during the Knives Out 3 shoot.

"It’s one of the great gifts to have such an intense experience with people who you know will be your dear friends for the rest of your life.”

Josh Brolin jokingly said that the chemistry between actors during the shoot “was an orgy.” Mila Kunis laughed at Josh's response and added,

“I met with Rian, and he didn’t offer me anything, and I instead offered up myself to be in the movie. He goes, ‘I think you should read the script.’ I go, ‘Nope, I don’t need to.’ This has been a dream. An absolute dream to work with everybody, and one of the greatest productions I’ve ever been on and probably will ever be on. So, thank you, Rian.”

Knives Out 3 is produced by Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Katie McNeill. Besides the above-mentioned cast, the film also stars Daniel Craig reprising his role as private detective Benoit Blanc.

The film will start streaming on Netflix on December 12, 2025 after its limited theatrical release on November 26.
