Filmmaker Rian Johnson has addressed similarities between his Glass Onion character Miles Bron and Elon Musk, stating that any resemblance between the imaginary tech billionaire and his real-life counterpart is purely unintentional.
“There’s a lot of general stuff about that sort of species of tech billionaire that went directly into [the Netflix film]. But obviously, it has almost a weird relevance in exactly the current moment,” said Johnson in a recent interview with Wired. “A friend of mine said, ‘Man, that feels like it was written this afternoon.’ And that’s just sort of a horrible, horrible accident, you know?”
Viewers of Johnson’s second in a line of acclaimed whodunits would be forgiven by the director for drawing a comparison between the fictional tech billionaire who owns the pic’s titular Greek mansion, and the real one apparently considering stepping down as Twitter’s CEO, just a couple of months after acquiring the social media platform. He acknowledges in the Wired interview that Glass Onion’s real-world resonance is “very bizarre,” going on to joke, “I hope there isn’t some secret marketing department at Netflix that’s funding this Twitter takeover.”
Johnson at the same time noted that he wrote Glass Onion in 2020, long before Musk came on the scene at Twitter, and that the character of Miles (played by Edward Norton) was more so intended to represent one very familiar archetype among many in our modern-day world. “The intent was to accurately reflect what it’s been like to have our heads in the middle of the cultural sphere for the past six years,” he said. “It’s a pretty nightmarish kind of carnival, Fellini-esque inflated reality right now.”

His candid opinion. Rian Johnson has found success creating the Knives Out franchise — but the director isn’t thrilled with every aspect of the Glass Onion sequel.
It’s no mystery what audiences were watching on Netflix over the holiday weekend.
It has been five long years since the release of Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Thankfully, over the past year or so, it feels like the discourse surrounding it has tempered a bit and people aren’t ready to murder each other on social media if you even mention the film. That said, there are still a lot of opinions out there about ‘The Last Jedi.’ And in a recent interview, Rian Johnson is here to at least talk about his intentions with the film, whether or not you believe he was successful.
Netflix had an early Christmas present for film fans this year, as the streaming service released “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” on December 23. While the jury is still out on whether or not the sequel will be as successful with fans and awards organizations as the original “Knives Out,” it’s safe to say that Rian Johnson’s mystery franchise is still excelling in its second go-round.
Rian Johnson is opening up about the creation of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and said he lamented the film having Knives Out in its title.
The first movie, which was released in 2019, explored the death of renowned writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) and how his wealthy, dysfunctional family may have played a role in his demise. Viewers watched as detective Blanc (Daniel Craig) worked together with Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) to solve the murder — as the nurse secretly tried to cover up her own involvement.
and Mr. James Bond himself, , the principal cast of Rian Johnson’s , is already a who’s who of Hollywood. And that’s before you get to the dozen or so cameos that Johnson sprinkled throughout the 140-minute film. Leslie Odom Jr., Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Edward Norton, as well as Hudson and Craig, are joined by everyone from Ethan Hawke to Serena Williams, the latter two appearing in minor roles throughout the film.
