‘Prepare for the ultimate high-stakes whodunit. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery promises a film that raises the stakes of the genre to new heights, with a shocking crime, a legendary detective, and a cast of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
The stakes are set by the “impossible” murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during a public Mass, a crime that is both a logistical nightmare and a moral outrage. Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc must navigate this high-pressure situation, where one wrong move could let a killer escape.
The high-stakes game is played by an ensemble of A-list talent, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Mila Kunis, who bring weight and prestige to the proceedings. The teaser’s tense atmosphere and Blanc’s serious new look all contribute to the sense that this is the most important case of his career.
Following its world premiere at TIFF, this high-stakes mystery is now heading for a global release. Wake Up Dead Man will be in select theaters from November 26th before its worldwide streaming debut on Netflix on December 12th.
