The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery presents a complex tapestry of lies that only Benoit Blanc can unravel. The preview for the third film in the franchise sets up a classic whodunit framework, but with the dark, intricate threads of a modern psychological thriller.
At the center of this tapestry is the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during Mass, a crime that Daniel Craig’s Blanc calls “impossible.” This central thread connects a diverse group of characters, each woven into the plot with their own secrets and motives.
The weavers of this story are a star-studded cast, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, all under the masterful direction of Rian Johnson. The teaser also reveals a new thread in Blanc’s own story, with his longer hair and formal suit hinting at a personal evolution.
After its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, this intricate mystery is set to be unveiled to the world. Wake Up Dead Man will open in select theaters on November 26th and will be available to stream globally on Netflix from December 12th.
