"There's always a lot of mystery surrounding the mysteries crafted by writer/director Rian Johnson for his signature private detective. Yet while the new teaser trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery doesn't reveal whodunnit, it does reveal who got done, setting up an investigation that should be a challenge for Benoit Blanc ( Daniel Craig). The new film brings together another eclectic cast of all-stars, with Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington,"
"Not amongst the suspects - presumably - is Josh Brolin's Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, as he's the titular dead man, with the circumstances of his death invoking the classic "locked room" murder-mystery trope. Wake Up Dead Man premiered September 6th at the Toronto International Film Festival, and will receive a limited theatrical release on November 26th, before debuting on Netflix December 12th."
"We'll have to wait until then to find out the full scope of Johnson's vision, but the second Benoit Blanc movie, Glass Onion, was Consequence's top film of 2022, and as Tim Blake Nelson told us during a conversation about Poker Face Season 1, he's a director who's always trying to top himself. Check out the new trailer below."
The teaser trailer for Wake Up Dead Man reveals the victim rather than the killer, positioning Benoit Blanc to investigate a challenging locked-room case. Josh Brolin's Monsignor Jefferson Wicks is established as the titular dead man. The film assembles an eclectic ensemble including Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church among potential suspects. Wake Up Dead Man premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th, will have a limited theatrical release on November 26th, and will debut on Netflix December 12th.
