Knives Out 2: Meet The Real Derol Who Inspired The Glass Onion Character. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery director Rian Johnson created the hilarious stoner for Noah Segan to play based on his childhood friend.
'Glass Onion' star Noah Segan shares Easter eggs, a deleted scene, and the yacht-rock song that inspired his scene-stealing stoner Derol. Noah Segan, who plays scene-stealer Derol in "Glass Onion," has starred in all of Rian Johnson's movies.
Played by Noah Segan, who has appeared in every one of Rian Johnson's films to date, Derol has taken on a life of his own, becoming a favorite even on the periphery of the murder-mystery action, and perhaps because of that, a meme.
His name is Phillip. I just basically thought who would it give me the most joy for Benoit Blanc to be with, and I thought Hugh Grant. He was such a joy to be with, he came to set for one day, did that one disconnected scene and trusted us to put it in the movie.
In the end, even Glass Onion's twist isn't too complex, with Miles simply inviting his friends to his mansion and trying to cover his tracks over murdering a former partner. As for this soirée, it's all to ensure they remain loyal accomplices.
Why did Miles invite Andi if he knew she was dead?
If he didn't invite her after murdering her, it would demonstrate that he knew she was dead, so the invite could have been sent to cover his own tracks.
Miles Bron is the main antagonist of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Bron is a rich Tech giant who owns a private estate in Greece. He is portrayed by Edward Norton.
More than anything, Glass Onion is a pastiche of rich people and the super-rich. The message is threefold: Rich people are not necessarily clever or wise (or more accurately, they're often stupid). Rich people are not normal (or more accurately, they're weird).
The multimillion-dollar home on Pisceshite Island are fictional, with the film actually shot in Greece at the Amanzoe resort, with the Glass Onion CGI'd into the top of the villa.
In an interview with Collider, Hugh Grant confirmed that his cameo character in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion, Phillip, is, in fact, married to Daniel Craig's character, the illustrious detective Benoit Blanc.
In this case, they're all a group of close friends who used to meet at a bar named The Glass Onion. The mystery begins when one of them sends out an elaborate invitation to spend a weekend on his private estate in Greece.
Miles does, though, so did he clue into who his surprise guest really was at any point? Rian Johnson says the answer is no. After all, "Glass Onion" makes Klear that Miles Bron is an idiot. Supporting this, Johnson notes that Miles is just as shocked as the other characters when they realize "Andi" is really Helen.
However, the real mystery was not why Andi joined the others on Miles' private island but what was Andi's real identity to begin with. As Glass Onion progressed, it was revealed that Helen, Andi's twin sister, was impersonating Andi to uncover the mystery of her twin's death and find her sister's killer.
The Mona Lisa is a signifier in the film as well. It represents Miles' wealth and his desire for being remembered. And so, ironically and beautifully, Helen gives Miles what he wants. He will forever be remembered in the same breath as the Mona Lisa, as it burned up.
characters. Speaking to Krista Smith in a new episode of the Skip Intro podcast, the actor describes her own shock at the film's big twist, which reveals her dual identity, playing twin sisters Andi and Helen Brand.
Filmed in gorgeous Greek locations such as Porto Heli and Spetses, there is much more than meets the eye in these sensational destinations. Of all of the Greek islands, Spetses is somewhat of a hidden gem.
So why is the sequel called Glass Onion? First, director Johnson was inspired by a 1968 Beatles song, and plays the song over the end credits of the film. "It's kind of a Beatles song about a mystery that's not actually a mystery," Johnson explained to Reuters.
In GLASS ONIONS (2022), one of the books on Blanc's bathroom floor is CAIN'S JAWBONE. A murder mystery first published in 1930, all the pages are printed out of order. It's only been solved 3 times.
In a stunt that many viewers likely didn't see coming, the Mona Lisa plays a significant role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, with the painting ultimately burning to a crisp at the end.
I assumed he sent her the box because he always did even though she had previously declined and it would've been suspicious if he hadn't this time. So in order to keep up the ruse of not knowing she was/would be murdered he sent her one. It's a cover.
While there, Whiskey sneaks away with Miles seemingly having an affair with him. Duke sees. It's later revealed that Duke had Whiskey seduce Miles to let Duke join Alpha News.
The plot of Glass Onion revolves around tech billionaire Miles Bron's ambitions to power the world with a made-up hydrogen product called Klear — a plan that literally blows up in his face. There's some fun science fiction at play here — storing hydrogen in a room-temperature crystal like Klear isn't a thing.
It was staged as a suicide so no one would suspect Miles was the culprit. Meanwhile, Duke (Dave Bautista, once again showing audiences he's more than Drax) had a drink that was dosed with pineapple juice, which immediately killed him because he's deathly allergic to pineapples.
At that point, Duke knew that Miles was guilty, and in an attempt to blackmail him, he showed him on his phone, trying to get Miles to boost his YouTube channel.
