Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is getting a big-screen release ahead of its premiere on Netflix later this year, because if there's one thing better than Benoit Blanc on the small screen, it's Benoit Blanc on the big screen.
Shortly after the news that Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical would be given the same treatment, the British Film Institute has announced that Glass Onion will receive its European premiere on Sunday, October 16 at the Southbank Centre.
As part of the 66th BFI London Film Festival, director Rian Johnson and cast members Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson, and Madelyn Cline will all attend the special screening.

And for anyone unable to make it to the Southbank Centre, there's good news – Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will also be screening at a number of UK cinemas.
"I'm thrilled to be back at LFF with Glass Onion, and it's an honour to be closing the festival," Rian Johnson said of the news. "A proper whodunnit really does belong in London, so it feels a bit like coming home!"

Teasing the upcoming sequel, star Jessica Henwick recently promised fans of the zany original that they will be "happy" with its follow-up.
"Daniel was back and Benoit has his style and his flair that is very specific to this film series, and yeah, it's gonna hit all the same fun beats," she said. "It's such a ride."
Knives Out is available to rent or buy now on DVD, Blu-ray or as a digital download – and its sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is on the way for Netflix.
