The original motion picture soundtrack from the much-buzzed-about film has officially been released.
Thirty years after cousins Rian and Nathan Johnson began shooting films together as kids growing up in Denver, Colorado, the two have amassed quite the filmography. Their latest in a string of acclaimed movies is GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY, which Rian wrote and directed and Nathan scored.
The original motion picture soundtrack from the much-buzzed-about film has officially been released and can be heard below.
Rian and Nathan last collaborated on Knives Out and have worked together on Brick, Looper and The Brothers Bloom. Nathan's impressive list of credits also includes scoring Guillermo Del Toro's 2021 Oscar-nominated film, Nightmare Alley.
When Rian began writing the smash hit Knives Out, he asked Nathan to create a unique sonic palette for the world inhabited by Daniel Craig's debonair detective, Benoit Blanc. Inspired by murder mysteries of a bygone era, Nathan turned to slippery woodwinds, dissonant pianos and eventually the jagged string quartet that would go on to become the film's audio signature while simultaneously redefining the sound of the modern mystery.
With Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Nathan's score nods to the manor mystery of Knives Out, but the sonic palette is both expanded and inverted with a new quartet joining brass and harpsichord to flesh out the romantic themes of an entirely new mystery.
The special one-week-only theatrical sneak preview of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery wraps tomorrow. The film will premiere on Netflix on December 23.
