Rian Johnson Prepping ‘Original Sci-Fi’ Movie, May Not Return to Netflix

by

As a devoted cinephile who’s had the pleasure of witnessing Rian Johnson‘s cinematic journey unfold, I am thrilled to hear about his upcoming original sci-fi project! With his exceptional knack for storytelling and ability to captivate audiences across various genres, it’s no surprise that studios will be eagerly vying for this new gem.

It appears that Rian Johnson might have secured his upcoming movie project and could potentially end his partnership with Netflix, as suggested in a recent report by Jeff Sneider of The Insider.

According to Sneider’s report, it appears that Johnson – having just launched Glass Onion (the Knives Out sequel) and with Knives Out 3 set for release on Netflix – might not continue working with Netflix following the release of his trilogy. As for his future projects, no details have been disclosed yet, but Sneider’s report did mention that Johnson has already started working on a new project.

What do we know about Rian Johnson’s next movie?

As a gamer speaking about my favorite actor, here’s how I might put it:

For Johnson, the world of sci-fi is no stranger. The director broke out into superstardom after directing the 2012 sci-fi action thriller Looper and would then go on to direct 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a divisive film set in a sci-fi world. In 2019, Johnson directed the critically acclaimed murder mystery movie Knives Out and its sequel, Glass Onion, released in 2022. A third film in the franchise, Wake Up Dead Man, is set to release in 2025.

Beyond cinema, Johnson is responsible for producing the critically acclaimed crime comedy-drama TV show “Poker Face,” broadcast on Peacock. Starring Natasha Lyonne, this series garnered widespread appreciation and even landed Lyonne a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. The show was renewed for a second season in 2023, implying that production is likely underway now.
