"Everyone's favourite detective Benoit Blanc is back for another instalment of Rian Johnson's Knives Out franchise. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is a classic whodunnit that moves away from the opulent glamour of the Glass Onion's Amanzoe setting for a more lived-in, pastoral setting: a forested, fictional small town called Chimney Rock in upstate New York with a gorgeous Neo-Gothic church."
"Much of the action in the movie takes place in the Hudson Valley - outdoors in the lush forests surrounding the church, and in cosy, older homes and offices that feel quintessentially Northeast. But production actually occurred primarily in London, with the English countryside making a fine dupe. From the centrepiece location of the beautiful Neo-Gothic church to the kitschy townie bar Il Diavolo, here are some of the most significant sites used during production."
Benoit Blanc returns to investigate a sudden death in Chimney Rock, a fictional, forested small town in the Hudson Valley centered on a Neo-Gothic church. Father Jud Duplenticy, a boxer-turned-clergyman with a neck tattoo, clashes with Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, whose judgmental, paranoid leadership is driving away parishioners. The parish includes characters played by Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Glenn Close, and Kerry Washington. Blanc partners with Father Jud to unravel the puzzling case. Much of the onscreen action is set outdoors in lush forests and in cosy Northeast homes, though production primarily filmed in London with the English countryside doubling for upstate New York.
