On November 17, Los Angeles was the scene of a heavy downpour that unexpectedly provided the ideal atmosphere for the special screening of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the third installment of the acclaimed murder mystery franchise Knives Out, directed by renowned filmmaker Rian Johnson.

During the screening, actress Kerry Washington couldn’t resist the temptation to joke about Netflix’s ability to “make it rain” at the event. “It’s gothic, just like the movie. That’s how powerful Netflix is: they brought the rain”, Washington commented, eliciting laughter from the cast present. This type of interaction between the weather and the film was undoubtedly a memorable moment that resonated with the fans who attended the event.
The Knives Out franchise has gained a loyal following thanks to its clever script and intriguing plots. With each new installment, Johnson manages to keep the audience’s interest by offering an enigmatic environment and complex characters. In fact, Johnson has stated that there is someone he wants, by any means, in his next installment: the Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep. Given the level of performance in these films, he will have no trouble securing her.
The November rain not only contributed to the atmosphere but also evoked a sense of community among the attendees. People gathered for the screening, enjoying an evening that combined cinematic art with an unexpected natural setting. The screening of Knives Out 3 promises to be another milestone in the evolution of modern mystery storytelling, and its premiere is highly anticipated by fans of the franchise.
