It's abundantly clear that Johnson was inspired by all of Christie's typical trademarks and hobby-horses, and he pays tribute to her most legendary characters and favorite settings, but the plot of "Knives Out" is entirely new and scripted directly for the screen. There are still many adaptations of her original work, but with "Knives Out", writer/director Rian Johnson attempts something entirely different. She truly was the most gifted and brilliant fiction writer who ever lived, and it rejoices me to see that her work still inspires other writers and filmmakers nowadays more than forty years after she passed away. With the exception of my wife and daughter, and possibly my mother, Agatha Christie is the woman whom I love most on this planet.
