Prepare for another intricate puzzle, as the teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery has arrived. The clip reintroduces Daniel Craig as the charismatic detective Benoit Blanc, who finds himself at the center of his most challenging investigation to date. Rian Johnson’s third entry in the series appears ready to up the ante on suspense and intrigue.
The preview wastes no time in establishing the stakes, presenting a crime that Blanc himself calls “impossible.” The mystery kicks off with the public murder of a Catholic priest, played by Josh Brolin, during a service. This shocking event serves as the catalyst for a story that promises to be filled with twists, turns, and dramatic revelations.
The cast is, as expected, a who’s who of Hollywood talent. Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny, Josh O’Connor, and Andrew Scott are all set to appear alongside Craig and Brolin, ensuring a dynamic and performance-driven film. Furthermore, Blanc himself has undergone a transformation, now sporting longer hair and a distinguished three-piece suit.
Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Wake Up Dead Man is on a fast track for a public release. Fans can experience the mystery in select cinemas from November 26th, or wait for its global streaming launch on Netflix on December 12th.
