The Knives Out man has done another pass through Hollywood, looking for actors with some time on their hands who wouldn’t mind flying out to Greece to make Rian Johnson’s mysterious mystery sequel, and this time he’s adding Kate Hudson to the already massive list of stars who will appear in Knives Out 2. That comes from Deadline, which has… no other new information for us, because everything about this movie is a secret. It’s like the cast is a doughnut, and the name and plot and character details are all the hole inside the doughnut, and we’re just getting a bigger and bigger doughnut while we wait for Johnson to present us with the doughnut hole that will fit inside the doughnut’s hole. You know, that metaphor doesn’t really track, and we’re not entirely sure it even made sense when Benoit Blanc used it in the original Knives Out, but we will be furious if this new movie doesn’t find someone excuse to have Daniel Craig say “doughnut hole” again—and hopefully multiples times at that.
Anyway, should we just go back over what little information we do already know about Knives Out 2? We’ll throw in some exclamation points to make it seem more exciting: Netflix paid $450 million to get the rights to Knives Out 2 and Knives Out 3! Dave Bautista will be in it! Edward Norton will also be in it! Holy crap, Janelle Monáe and Kathryn Hahn will in it! This is bananas, but Leslie Odom Jr. will be there as well! Production is starting this summer in Greece! Kate Hudson is Goldie Hawn’s daughter! Goldie Hawn has been in a relationship with Kurt Russell since the ‘80s! They were in The Christmas Chronicles Part II together! The Christmas Chronicles franchise is owned by—ready for this?—Netflix! Full circle!

Can…can I be in Knives Out 2? Because everyone else is.
Big Red No.
Sean O’Neal is in KnIIves Out!!!
“Holy crap, Janelle Monáe and Kathryn Hahn will in it!”
It’s spelt “innit” or you could maybe add an the word ‘be’.
Someone might want to buy the AV Club editor a coffee or having read the Brooklyn Nine Nine article where they get the writer gets the main character’s name wrong just fire them.
Editing is an unknown and terrifying concept to the Gizmodo Continuum.
If you’re going to write a comment correcting the errors in the article, you just gotta proofread your own comment!
I don’t have an paid editor I’m just a regular a-hole.
Apparently, since like, I don’t know, 2012, the AVC hasn’t had a paid editor either. I love how we are all complaining about this ten years after the fact. I’ve accepted the fact that the only time changes to an article are going to be made is if there are factual inaccuracies. Spelling, grammar, a slight flub on the name, eh, who cares?
I can already imagine Rian being like: “It’s okay, Kate, I’ll let you be in a probably great movie for a change,” and Kate Hudson’s agent is just behind her mouthing “Thank you!” And maybe we can all one day forget that Music existed.
Has any actor ever nosedived (nosedove?) so far after a breakout role? I know she’s still successful, but Hudson absolutely tore her own heart out in Almost Famous and immediately became one of my favorite actresses, and then proceeded to spend the next 2 decades doing NOTHING else of note.
