Netflix has dropped a new full trailer for the third installment in Rian Johnson’s wildly popular Knives Out franchise. “Wake Up Dead Man” is his latest whodunnit mystery and a standalone sequel to 2022’s “Glass Onion”. As before, Johnson brings back Daniel Craig who reprises his role as super sleuth Benoit Blanc. And like before, Johnson brings together another sparkling ensemble that includes Josh Brolin, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Jeffrey Wright, Thomas Haden Church, and more.
This time around, private investigator Benoit Blanc takes a case centered around the murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, a charismatic priest played by Brolin. As with any good whodunnit, Johnson then introduces to the wide number of possible suspects, many who are members of the victim’s very wealthy congregation. The first trailer looks like exactly what fans of the previous two films are looking for. And Johnson has shown the ability to keep his audience thoroughly involved till the very end.
“Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” releases in select theaters on November 26th and on Netflix December 12th. Check out the new trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Yeah, this looks awesome. I love these movies as Rian Johnson has that touch.
They really are a ton of fun. Looking forward to this one.
This will be a maybe. I have seen the one w/ Edward Norton which was ok.
sorry I meant to add the above comment separately
A must-see for me, and I didn’t even like Glass Onion as much as many others did. Then again, I am bringing super-high expectations to these films based on the first one. I like Craig a lot, and I think these movies are a great “transition” career-wise from the Bond years.
I definitely liked the first movie more than the second. Hopefully this one will be similar to it.
Haven’t seen the 2nd one yet! Is it worth it?
I liked it. It’s not as good as the original though. Still worth a watch.
I’m looking forward to this – although I didn’t like the second one as much as the first!
I’m exactly the same. Hoping for more of the first Knives Out in this one.
Seeing for Mila Kunis
