This morning, Netflix revealed the official trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, finally pulling back the curtain on their latest whodunit from Rian Johnson. The movie premiered to raves at the Toronto International Film Festival, where our own Joey Magidson saw it and loved it. His rave review is here, while he’s quoted in this trailer, saying “Rian Johnson has done it again.” You’ll be able to see this one in select theaters on November 26th, before it streams on Netflix on December 12th.
Netflix has the following to say about the film:
Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. 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. Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson writes and directs Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and assembles another all-star, award-winning cast.
Here now is the official trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Take a look:
