‘Wake Up Dead Man’: A First Glimpse at the Next Great Whodunit

Date:

The next great whodunit is on its way. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery has been released, offering audiences a thrilling first glimpse at the third chapter in Rian Johnson’s acclaimed mystery saga. Daniel Craig is back as Benoit Blanc, ready to solve an “impossible” crime.
The teaser sets up the central mystery: the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during a church service, a crime so bold it seems to defy logic. The preview is packed with suspense, giving audiences a taste of the drama and intrigue that awaits in this star-studded film.
The incredible ensemble cast is on full display, featuring Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny, and more. The teaser also shows off a new, more formal look for Blanc, who appears with longer hair and a three-piece suit.
After a successful debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th, the film is now on track for a holiday release. Wake Up Dead Man will open in select theaters on November 26th before its global streaming launch on Netflix on December 12th.
