AMSTERDAM NEWS: What’s surprised you about making the film “Knives Out”?

LaKEITH STANFIELD: What interested me in “Knives Out” is that the script was so well executed. It presents all these wild characters and different possibilities for the crime, and then it keeps throwing you for a loop. I thought it was a great canvas to work with, and on top of that, the dialogue was so dark and funny. With each character, there is a reason to be invested in them and equally, a reason to distrust them. A big part of the fun in a story like this is questioning your own judgment and moral barometer as things get complicated.

AMN: Describe your character, Lieutenant Elliott.

LS: Lieutenant Elliott is a consummate “by-the-book professional.”

AMN: What was it like working with Craig Daniel?

LS: I expected Daniel to be super cool, which he is, but he can also be so goofy and hilarious,

It’s always exciting when you get to see actors make choices that you’re not expecting, and I think people will be quite surprised by Daniel in a great way.
