A most unholy crime has been committed, and Benoit Blanc is on the case. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery reveals that the film’s central murder takes place in a church, a sacrilegious act that will require a brilliant mind to solve.
Daniel Craig returns as the fan-favorite detective, who is tasked with investigating the death of a Catholic priest (Josh Brolin) during a service. This “impossible” crime sets a dark and dramatic tone for the film, promising a mystery that delves into the hidden sins of its characters.
The film features a stunning cast, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, all of whom are potential suspects in this shocking murder. The teaser also gives audiences a look at Blanc’s new, more formal appearance, complete with longer hair.
The movie was first screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. It is now scheduled for a dual release, opening in select cinemas on November 26th before its global streaming launch on Netflix on December 12th.
