A big murder-mystery mansion needs big personalities. There are plenty of them to go around in “Knives Out,” Rian Johnson’s energetic and comedic look at how a family deals with the death of their wealthy patriarch.
The scene features Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis and several other stars, discussing (and bickering about) family matters while detectives investigate whether foul play was involved in the death of the house’s owner, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer).
In his narration, Johnson discusses the challenges of shooting a scene with a large cast and keeping the framing of the characters visually interesting.
