‘Wake Up Dead Man’: Daniel Craig’s Detective Gets a Makeover

A new case, a new look. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery not only introduces a thrilling new puzzle but also a stylish makeover for its lead detective, Benoit Blanc. Daniel Craig returns to the role with a notably different appearance, featuring longer hair and a sharp three-piece suit.
The mystery itself is as intriguing as Blanc’s new style. The plot concerns the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) during a church service, an “impossible crime” that will require all of Blanc’s deductive genius to solve. The teaser promises a suspenseful and atmospheric film in line with its popular predecessors.
The cast is a formidable collection of talent, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, all of whom will play key roles in the unfolding drama. The visual refresh for Blanc suggests a new evolution for the character, adding another layer of interest for returning fans.
The film recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. It is scheduled for a limited theatrical engagement starting November 26th, before making its highly anticipated debut on Netflix on December 12th.
