"When we were first trying to get Knives Out made, Daniel wasn't available. He was doing the Bond movies. He was my first choice for it but he was a hard not available' because he was on the Bond movies, Johnson told IndieWire. So, we went to other people for it. We got a bunch of no's about Benoit Blanc, the filmmaker added, declining to share the names of actors who turned down the role."
"I'll reiterate that the instant there was some delay with the Bond movie and Daniel had a window, the instant he became available, I leapt. Thank God. Thank God Daniel got it, Johnson continued. And the moment Daniel read the script and said yes, it was six weeks until we were shooting. So the whole movie was put together really, really quickly. Which, actually, with casting helps."
