As a cinephile with over three decades of movie-watching under my belt, I can confidently say that Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” has me utterly spellbound. The ensemble cast alone is enough to make any film enthusiast’s heart skip a beat. Imagine the thrill of watching Daniel Craig reprise his role as Benoit Blanc, alongside heavyweights like Glenn Close, Josh O’Connor, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, and Kerry Washington! I can almost hear the popcorn popping already.
The latest installment in director Rian Johnson’s renowned whodunit series, titled “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery“, has completed shooting. Known for his critically acclaimed works like “Knives Out” and its sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery“, Johnson announced this update on social media, also sharing a fresh photo from the set with the accompanying caption:
“And with that, we’ve completed filming for Wake Up Dead Man! A big thank you to the outstanding crew and exceptionally talented cast. Making this project has been an incredibly unique and rewarding experience. I can hardly wait to assemble it all and share the end result with everyone.”
Although the precise storyline of “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” is still shrouded in secrecy, it’s clear that Daniel Craig, famous for his roles as James Bond and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s protagonist, will reprise his role as detective Benoit Blanc. In this upcoming movie, we can expect Blanc to expose another murderer. Rian Johnson, the director, has hinted that “Knives Out 3” will deviate from its predecessors in terms of tone and themes, as he shared with Variety last year.
“The thrill of working on [Glass Onion] was the challenge of creating a fresh story inspired by Christie, something entirely novel. As I delve into the third film, it’s this very prospect that sparks my creativity: I’m not required to mimic the previous movie in any way. Instead, I aim to forge a new path both in terms of tone and theme.”
