Rian Johnson may be a controversial figure in geekdom right now, but prior to his time in the world of Star Wars, the man was quite the icon thanks to his work in sci-fi and mystery. Films like Looper and Brick often came up as great movies to watch for film fans, and many were excited to see how that would translate to the world of Star Wars.

Regardless of whether or not you liked Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it does seem like the dude is right at home in the mystery genre, and from the sound of it, his work on Knives Out could very well impress when it hits theaters.

Now, we have a new trailer for the movie that boasts all sorts of critical praise. Check it down below!

Below is the official synopsis for Knives Out:

“Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, The Last Jedi) pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie in KNIVES OUT, a fun, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect.  When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. With an all-star ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell, KNIVES OUT is a witty and stylish whodunit guaranteed to keep audiences guessing until the very end.”
