‘Knives Out’, called the masterpiece of detective movies, will be re-released in theaters on December 4th to celebrate its 5th anniversary.

‘Knives Out’ is a mystery thriller about bestselling mystery writer Harlan (Christopher Plummer) and his family of 10 who were found dead after his 85th birthday party.

When it was first released in 2019, the film was selected as one of the top 10 movies of the year by the National Board of Review (NBR) and the American Film Institute (AFI) with a super luxurious cast and solid script, and recorded a 99% Rotten Tomatoes index. It also won 52 awards and was nominated in 116 categories at major film festivals around the world, including nominations for the Academy and BAFTA Best Screenplay Awards and the Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress.

In Korea, it also caused a box office comeback fever with a relay of rave reviews, such as recording a 99% CGV Golden Egg index, and surpassed 810,000 viewers.

As such, its fun has already been proven. While the audience is expressing anticipation at the news that they will be able to see ‘Knives Out’ in theaters again, a new launch poster that has not been released before has been revealed and is garnering attention. In particular, the names of the 11 actors, including Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas, catch the eye. In addition, the addition of Harlan‘s mug with the words ‘My House, My Rules, My Coffee!’ (MY HOUSE, MY RULES, MY COFFEE!) written on it, a key motif in the film, stimulates the audience’s curiosity.
