Daniel Craig: Every Single Easter Egg In “Glass Onion” Pays Off

Hello, welcome

every

one, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, my first guest tonight is an actor you know from the James Bond films, Logan Lucky and Knives Out, he is back as Detective Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion, a mystery by Knives Out. This is the same as the others. but I didn't send it to you, how many of these boxes did you create? Yes I have one for each of my friends, there are no test boxes, there are no prototypes, my puzzle boy barely finished all five on time and was Ricky J's apprentice once the boxes were made.

They are open and the puzzle is complete, is there a way to close them again to reset them? Wait for someone to reset the Box. Someone restarts the Box. They sent it to you as a joke. Miles is doing a murder mystery. Let's invite Benoit, damn block. Oh, he's so good. I'm motivated. I don't know why I have the predefined detective in the world at my murder mystery party. That's so legit. Welcome back to the Late Show. Daniel Craig. Thank you. I'm glad to see you again. That's it, well, you got it. I was back here I had a surprise for you would you like a cocktail um sure there you go there you go there you go we had the opportunity to interview you for the Montclair Belvedere Vodka Film Festival, we'll get to that later this is just a coincidence that I'm here Don't worry, you don't have to, you don't have to dance for your cocktail around here, sure, how do you take it, do you take it with a little bit of uh, do you have any uh? soda yes we have some sparkling water, no lime, some soda and some lime, what do you call that drink again? um, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Daniel Craig, what would you call that drink if I thought this was a safe space Oh, it's called skinny that's skinny exactly what you are skinny here's your drink right now okay, I'll hit you with a little bit of that no thanks here's what we have ice don't worry this is a full service bar now when I was on cable I didn't have ice but I'm on the network now we can pay for ice Daily Show doesn't have ice we have ice here now here it is here the thing is I'm going to tell you a little trade secret here.

I don't actually get the chance to see all the films of the people who come on the show. I know it's shocking to hear, but actually not just not just applause. I've only seen Glass Onion, but I can't wait to see it again, okay, it's an incredibly entertaining movie and it's going to be fun, this is, this is for you and for you, wow, there you go, so it was a lot of fun. to make it the way it looks because it really looks like a group of friends, there you go, because it looks like you're really having a ton of fun making a really good movie with a group of really cool people when you hit those people. together in a room something is going to happen um this cast this Ed Norton Catherine Han Janelle Monae uh Kate Hudson Leslie Odom Jr and just an extraordinary number of cameos isn't it incredible and uh first of all, Ryan wrote a very, very funny script that It's always a good place to start and then if you're throwing that talent into the room, suddenly something magical happens and we laugh a lot.

Yes, we did what I like about the script, it's not just fun like the first one. Even sillier this one, yeah, but what I love about a really good mystery like this is that

every

thing, if asked, if you pay attention, everything you've paid attention to will pay off, it's incredibly generous and I mean, that It's Ryan, that's his character, but it's worth watching again, I mean I know everyone comes to this show and says watch it twice, but it really does if you watch it again. He lays all these foundations. He lays all these Easter eggs, all these things and everything. of them are worth it so it's worth watching a second time it's the third Knives Out movie it's already been Shameless put this one out first yeah before the second one comes out and I just want to point out What an extraordinary achievement it is that you were Bond, the most successful film franchise of all time and immediately after that you started another successful film franchise.

I think it's you and Harrison Ford, it's been Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I can't think of anyone else who anchored two doesn't realize that well, I mean, yes it's amazing company, but I consider myself incredibly lucky, I really mean, it's just that I had almost 20 years of the most extraordinary experiences in bond with the best people in the business. and you know wonderful, wonderful things that I will remember for the rest of my life and I turn around and Ryan Johnson offers me knives. I mean, how lucky am I that they don't blow up as much in these movies, there's less blowing. above, this was, is it more fun to make one of these movies or a Bond movie?

Oh, they're both equally fun in different ways, yes they are, that really sounds, they're both wonderful, delicious, it's a living Stephen, compare making these. two movies here we go, thank you, that's better, I know, excuse me, yeah, I'm not hurt that much, what can I say? I mean, no, it's less painful to pull knives, I'm just waiting for you. To finish, no, the Glass Onion

glass

, the actual title of the movie A Knives Out, but Glass Onion is the third song on The White Album, yes, you're from Liverpool, that's right, how important were the Beatles to you? ?

As I grew up, she said, knowing the answer. I mean, it's very hard to escape the Beatles. If you grow up in and around Liverpool like I did, they are part of your, um, your DNA. I mean, they're the first music you really listen to. Do you like growing up with people who know you? My dad was at the same school as John Lennon, but then everyone's dad said we have to take a short break. We'll be back soon with more Daniel Craig. Thank you.
