The trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the upcoming third instalment of the popular murder mystery film series, is finally here…
And boy, are we in for a treat!
Not only does the movie feature the return of Daniel Craig, who plays the super sleuth Benoit Blanc, but this time, our very own Andrew Scott and Daryl McCormack are also joining the line-up.
Not to mention the likes of Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and Mila Kunis!
The film, described as the “third and darkest chapter”, is written once again by Writer-director Rian Johnson, who worked on the previous two instalments.
But what’s the latest mystery all about?
Well accoridng to the offficial synopsis: “When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews.
“Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny).
“After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.”
Safe to say, we’re already intrigued.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will be released in select cinemas on 26 November before landing on Netflix on 12 December 2025.
Until then, be sure to check out the trailer above!
Christmas watch anyway?
