Benoit Blanc’s Southern Drawl Meets a Sinister Crime in New Teaser

That famous Southern drawl is back to dissect a sinister new crime. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery features Daniel Craig’s return as Benoit Blanc, who finds himself investigating a murder most foul in a place of worship.
The crime is a shocking one: a Catholic priest (Josh Brolin) is killed in front of his congregation. Blanc himself calls the case “impossible,” suggesting a mystery that will require his utmost concentration and cleverness to solve. The teaser is dripping with suspense and atmosphere.
The film’s all-star cast includes Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, all of whom are potential suspects in this audacious murder. The combination of a new look for Blanc and a high-stakes plot has generated immense excitement for the third film in Rian Johnson’s series.
Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Wake Up Dead Man is scheduled for a late-year release. It will have a limited theatrical run starting November 26th and will be available to stream on Netflix from December 12th.
