Rian Johnson is finally filming his sequel to the hit crime mystery, Knives Out. The original film went on to gross over $311 million worldwide which of course spawned the idea for sequels. Currently, two are planned which will premiere on Netflix. The streaming studio recently bought the rights to the next entries for an estimated $400 million. There is no word on whether they plan a limited theatrical run quite yet. But they're definitely planning on cashing in on the brand that's led by Daniel Craig and director Johnson (also known for his divisive Star Wars: The Last Jedi). Today, he posted to Twitter that Knives Out 2 is officially filming in Greece. 

Along with Craig, there is a brand new cast that features Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kate Hudson and more. There are no details about the story yet but we can be sure they cooked up something good. Craig is obviously reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc.
