Daniel Craig is back as Benoit Blanc in the upcoming Netflix film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third installment in the ‘Knives Out’ franchise from writer-director Rian Johnson.
In the trailer, viewers see Blanc declare that he is “incapable of not solving a crime,” despite being faced with “a perfectly impossible” case. This particular crime, set in an upstate New York parish, involves the murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin).
An official synopsis reads: “Wicks’ modest but devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), wary groundskeeper Sampson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly wound lawyer Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town docttor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), reclusive author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott) and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny).”
At the center of the mystery is former boxer turned priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor), with the cast also including Glenn Close, Thomas Haden Church, Kerry Washington, Daryl McCormack, Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Mila Kunis and Cailee Spaeny.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery arrives in theaters on November 26, and begins streaming on Netflix on December 12. Take a look at the trailer – HERE.
