Are you ready for another Benoit Blanc mystery? Netflix just released an all-new trailer for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery!” Rian Johnson (“Poker Face”) will be back writing and directing the third installment of the franchise. Daniel Craig (“Casino Royale”) will also be returning to reprise his role as the debonair detective Benoit Blanc.
“Wake Up Dead Man”
“Wake Up Dead Man” will have Blanc traveling to a small church in upstate New York to solve a murder that defies all logic. This sends the detective spiraling into his most personal case yet.
Craig stars alongside Josh O’Connor (“Challengers”) as Father Jud Duplenticy, Glenn Close (“Dangerous Liaisons”) as Martha Delacroix, Josh Brolin (“Dune”) as Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, Mila Kunis (“Luckiest Girl Alive”) as Geraldine Scott, and Jeremy Renner (“The Town”) as Dr. Nat Sharp. Kerry Washington (“Scandal”) as Vera Draven, Andrew Scott (“Ripley”) as Lee Ross, Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”) as Simone Vivane, Daryl McCormack (“Peaky Blinders”) as Cy Draven, and Thomas Haden Church (“Spider-Man 3”) as Samson Holt.
“We’ve been very lucky with each of these movies to have gathered some of my favorite actors on the planet, and that’s absolutely the case here,” Johnson told Tudum. “They’re also all lovely folks who get along, which is the dinner party aspect of it. When you’re making an ensemble movie like this, I think that’s key.”
Especially Renner, whose hot sauce was featured prominently in the second film, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”
“Jeremy’s a great actor who I’ve wanted to work with for a long time,” Johnson added. “I was very relieved he thought the hot sauce thing was funny! He’s playing a proper part in this one, we’ll keep the sauce offscreen. Maybe we’ll sneak a few bottles onto the catering table.”
“Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” opens in select theaters starting November 26th. It hits Netflix December 12th. You can check out the newest trailer below:
