Rian Johnson says he was 'in heaven' over those 'Glass Onion' cameos.
There's no doubt about the success of Rian Johnson's newest murder mystery film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, following its blistering one-week run in theaters over the week of Thanksgiving, the film has seen record success on Netflix over its December streaming debut.
While speaking with The New York Times, Johnson revealed just how he was able to nab the two legends for his most recent film. The scene was actually filmed during the film's editing process and came together quite quickly. The scene shows Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, sitting in his bathtub playing the 2018 game Among Us, a social deduction game in which players try and find the betrayer in the group.
Lansbury's cameo was actually filmed in the Murder, She Wrote star's Los Angeles home. Johnson said that Lansbury, "couldn't have been lovelier and more generous." However, her knowledge of online gaming was pretty thin. Johnson noted that "[s]he was very patient in letting me describe the rules of Among Us, up to a point. At which point she just said, ‘You know what? Just tell me what the lines are. I’ll trust you.
Apparently, Johnson "...was in heaven" when he heard the news of Sondheim's decision to cameo in Glass Onion. Of the two cameos by Sondheim and Lansbury Johnson said, "[o]ne thing I’ve learned is that every moment you get with somebody that you respect, savor that time and put yourself in that situation as often as possible.”
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is now available to stream on Netflix. Watch our interview with Johnson below:
