Knives Out, the new film from Rian Johnson, director of Looper and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is hitting select theaters this weekend and cinemas everywhere next week. Since the movie is so close to its release, the cast has been hard at work promoting the upcoming whodunit. A new video shared by the official Knives Out Twitter account is taking the film’s promotion to a whole new, hilarious level. The video show’s legendary TV personality Martha Stewart plugging a set of “Knives Out Knives” with help from one the movie’s stars, Jamie Lee Curtis. The video was shared by Johnson, who had a great reaction to the extreme randomness of it all.
