Now that cameras are rolling on Knives Out 2 in Greece, it's officially time for set photos to reveal more about the upcoming film. What could these photos possibly reveal, you ask? How about the fact that it looks as if Ethan Hawke has joined the cast? In the latest images from the set, Hawke can be seen holding what looks like a futuristic Playstation VR Aim Controller to the face of his fellow cast member Dave Bautista. Everyone in the photos looks as if they're on a high-end vacation for billionaires and pimps. Am I joking? Why don't you check out the images and judge for yourself?

Directed and written by Rian Johnson, Knives Out 2 sees Daniel Craig returning to the role of Benoit Blanc, a dashing detective with a nose for details. He'll be joined by an all-star ensemble that includes Dave Bautista, Janelle Monae, Jessica Henwick, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Edward Norton, and Madelyn Cline.

Details concerning the plot of Knives Out 2 remain in secrecy at this time. How long that confidentiality will last with so many cameras around is anyone's guess, though Johnson doesn't appear to be too concerned. If the film does indeed take place in a posh, vacation-like setting, it'll be a wild departure from the original, which took place in a stylish mansion decorated with knick-knacks, knives, and needling personalities.

We'll be sure to keep you apprised of any details that come about as Knives Out 2 continues filming.
