The suspects are assembled, and the mystery has begun. The new teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery not only marks the return of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc but also showcases the incredible ensemble cast joining him for this third adventure. The clip promises a character-driven story filled with powerhouse performances.
The plot centers on a crime that challenges even the great Benoit Blanc: the murder of a Catholic priest, played by Josh Brolin, during a live service. This brazen act sets the stage for a classic whodunit, with a long list of suspects who all have something to hide. Rian Johnson is once again at the helm, ensuring a cleverly crafted narrative.
This film’s cast is a major highlight, featuring legends and contemporary stars like Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Josh O’Connor, Andrew Scott, and Cailee Spaeny. The dynamic between these characters will be central to unraveling the truth. The teaser also reveals Blanc’s updated look, complete with a longer hairstyle and a formal three-piece suit.
Anticipation for the film is high following its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival. Viewers can look forward to its release in select cinemas on November 26th, with a global streaming launch on Netflix scheduled for December 12th.
