A Symphony of Suspects: ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser Unites Hollywood’s Elite

A symphony of Hollywood’s elite has been assembled for the next great mystery. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery showcases its incredible ensemble cast, a hallmark of the franchise, all of whom are potential suspects in a shocking murder case investigated by Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc.
The crime is a bold one: the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) in his own church, during Mass. This “impossible” event serves as the catalyst for a thrilling whodunit where every character, played by actors like Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, has a potential motive. The teaser promises a film driven by powerful and duplicitous performances.
The chemistry and conflict between this roster of talent will be central to the film’s appeal. In the middle of it all is Benoit Blanc, who returns with a new, more serious look featuring longer hair and a three-piece suit. This visual change suggests he is facing his most sophisticated set of adversaries yet.
The film has already been screened for audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival. The public will get their chance to see this orchestra of talent when Wake Up Dead Man opens in select cinemas on November 26th, followed by its global streaming debut on Netflix on December 12th.
