For the last three weeks, we’ve been asking you to guess which high profile film starring some of the best actors in Hollywood and centering around a murder mystery, was due for an imminent release. Because we’re all idiots here at Critical Hit who can barely tie our own shoelaces without needing a periodic reminder to breathe in and out, we had no idea what the movie was!
Filmmaker Rian Johnson may be more famous - or infamous - for his sci-fi blockbuster efforts, but he's returning to his crime filmmaking roots with Knives Out, a devilishly twisty murder mystery that combines Agathie Christie-level plotting with Johnson's own razor-sharp wit and a flamboyant Daniel Craig.
The Last Full Measure is the upcoming war drama that's based on the true story of pararescue air man William Pitsenbarger, who was posthumously awarded with the US Medal of Honor for his bravery during the Vietnam War.
Movies are supposed to be made to entertain and this new film by Rian Johnson definitely seems to have it prioritize right as it teases non-stop exciting and thrills.
Fresh from being praised as one of "the most singularly entertaining film of the year so far," writer/director Rian Johnson's Knives Out has a brand new trailer that gives us a great taste of why critics have fallen in love with this twisty, star-studded whodunnit.
Rian Johnson channels his inner Agatha Christie (if she had a potty mouth) in Knives Out, his stacked whodunnit that looks like it could be a killer fun time.
All the Money in the World is the upcoming crime thriller/drama from director Ridley Scott that's based on the true story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, grandson of billionaire oil magnate J. Paul Getty. It's also rather famous for having Kevin Spacey (as J. Paul Getty) being removed from the movie at the 11th hour and replaced by Christopher Plummer, with all his scenes being reshot.
All the Money in the World director Ridley Scott talks about the challenges involved in replacing Kevin Spacey in what is essentially a completed movie mere months before its release. We also get to see some of the first footage of said replacement, Christopher Plummer, in action.
