The movie “Knives Out” harkened back to classic ensemble mystery films and was highly acclaimed. Its follow-up, “Glass Onion,” received similar praise. Now, we have a new film from writer-director Rian Johnson, as evidenced by the release of the “Wake Up Dead Man” trailer. In simpler terms, “Knives Out” and its sequel were well-loved old-school mystery films, and a third movie in the series is on its way, with a sneak peek at the “Wake Up Dead Man” preview available.
In the third and darkest installment of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery series, the character portrayed by Daniel Craig, Benoit Blanc, takes on his most perilous case yet. A young priest named Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is tasked with assisting the charismatic and enigmatic Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). However, it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems within the church congregation. The devoted followers of Wicks include Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), a pious churchgoer, Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), a reserved caretaker, Vera Draven, Esq., a tense lawyer (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), the town’s doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and talented cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). The sudden, seemingly impossible murder of one of the congregation members leaves no obvious suspect, prompting local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to collaborate with the celebrated detective Benoit Blanc in an attempt to solve a mystery that defies logic.
Renowned filmmaker Rian Johnson, who was nominated for an Academy Award, is behind the writing and directing of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. He’s once again gathered a stellar, award-winning cast that has been lauded at various festivals. This highly anticipated production promises to be another hit.
The movie will debut at the opening night gala of the BFI London Film Festival on October 8th for its UK premiere. Following this, it will be screened in selected cinemas across the UK and Ireland starting November 28th. On December 12th, it will become available globally on Netflix.
