How do you solve a murder that seems impossible? That’s the question at the heart of the first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The clip showcases Daniel Craig’s return as detective Benoit Blanc, who is confronted with a shocking crime inside a church.
The central puzzle involves the death of a priest (Josh Brolin) during Mass, a brazen act that leaves an entire congregation as witnesses—and suspects. Blanc’s declaration that the crime is “impossible” raises the stakes, promising a mystery that will challenge the detective and the audience alike.
The film boasts an incredible cast, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, who will all play roles in this complex narrative. The teaser also reveals a new, more sophisticated style for Blanc, complete with longer hair and a tailored suit, adding to the intrigue.
The movie has already debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. For the public, it will be released in select cinemas on November 26th before it becomes available to stream on Netflix worldwide from December 12th.
