Director Rian Johnson now moves the crime scene from a country house in the US state of Massachusetts to a Greek island. A tech billionaire (Edward Norton) has invited his best friends over there when a murder suddenly occurs. In addition to Craig and Norton, the cast includes Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista. Johnson said he took the title “Glass Onion” from a 1968 Beatles song.
