Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

By that he meant that Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc mystery, would harken back to the origins of the whodunit, and in particular the gothic vibes of Edgar Allan Poe. And now that I've seen it, I have to say that Johnson pulled it off: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feel than its predecessors, and yet it's still distinctly Knives Out, which is to say twisting and hilarious. I gasped a few times, as did the rest of audience, at the many reveals.

Netflix's Ted Sarandos called seeing movies in theaters 'outdated.' Rian Johnson wants his next 'Knives Out' movie in as many as possible.

I think theatrical is not going anywhere, pointing to the box office success of Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' and 'A Minecraft Movie.'
