A crime of sacrilegious proportions is at the center of the new teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The clip reveals that Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc will be investigating the murder of a Catholic priest, a shocking event that takes place in the middle of Mass, setting the stage for a dark and complex story.
The teaser establishes this “impossible crime” as the core of the film’s plot, with Josh Brolin cast as the priest whose life is cut short. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, as Blanc must uncover the truth from a group of suspects who were all present at the scene of the crime.
The film continues the series’ tradition of featuring an all-star cast, with Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Renner, and Cailee Spaeny among the notable names. Daniel Craig also returns with a refreshed look for Blanc, who now has longer hair and wears a sharp three-piece suit.
After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, the highly anticipated film is now set for a public release. Wake Up Dead Man will open in select theaters on November 26th before making its worldwide streaming debut on Netflix on December 12th.
