Prepare for a mystery where the stakes have never been higher. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery establishes a crime so daring and a setting so sacred that even Benoit Blanc seems challenged. Daniel Craig returns as the detective in what promises to be the most intense film in the series yet.
The teaser reveals that the central crime is the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during Mass—an act of violence in a place of peace. Blanc’s description of it as an “impossible crime” underscores the gravity and complexity of the investigation, suggesting a darker and more suspenseful narrative.
Surrounding this high-stakes crime is a cast of Hollywood heavyweights, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, each capable of playing a convincing killer or a desperate victim. The teaser also shows off Blanc’s new, more serious look, reflecting the grim nature of his latest case.
The film has already made waves with its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Audiences can experience the high-stakes drama for themselves when Wake Up Dead Man hits select theaters on November 26th, before its global launch on Netflix on December 12th.
