The saga of Benoit Blanc is far from over. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery has been released, continuing the story of Daniel Craig’s beloved detective and plunging him into his most challenging case yet.
This time, Blanc is confronted with what he ominously dubs “the impossible crime.” The central mystery revolves around the shocking murder of a Catholic priest, portrayed by Josh Brolin, who is killed in the middle of Mass. The teaser sets a somber and suspenseful tone, suggesting a departure into darker territory for the series.
Joining Craig and Brolin is a spectacular ensemble cast, a signature of the Knives Out series. The lineup includes cinematic legends and rising stars like Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny, Josh O’Connor, and Andrew Scott. In a notable change, Daniel Craig’s Blanc sports a fresh look with longer hair.
The film has already generated significant buzz, having held its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. For those eager to join Blanc on his latest investigation, Wake Up Dead Man will have a limited theatrical run starting November 26th before becoming available to stream globally on Netflix on December 12th.
