Rian Johnson, who directed both movies, helped
peel back one of the franchise's biggest mysteries this week
when he explained what "Glass Onion" means.
He told Reuters, "Well it's a Beatles song first and foremost
and it's kind of a Beatles song about a mystery that's not
actually a mystery."
He added: "I ended up working in the idea of the glass onion of
this thing that seems densely layered but in reality, it's
pretty transparent. That's kind of the metaphor that Blanc grabs
on to and beats to death over the course of the movie. So it
means a few things."
The ensemble cast includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kate
Hudson, and Leslie Odom Jr. Each character's outfit alludes to
something about them to help guide the audience.
"I can't think of a film that I've been in in quite a while
where the costumes had such a presence in the film," Norton
said. "It's character defining... Every entrance produces
laughs."
Mystery lovers will find plenty to keep them entertained.
"The movie is incredibly generous with its spoilers, with its
Easter eggs, whatever you want to call them," said Craig.
"If you watch it you will get some of them, if you want to watch
it again, you'll get more, and it keeps on growing because what
Rian does so brilliantly is he lays all this groundwork, he does
all these things and every single thing pays off."
The film will have a limited release in theaters in the United
States and elsewhere in November and will be available for
streaming on Netflix in December.
