A Dapper Detective and a Deadly Crime in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser

A dapper detective meets a deadly crime in the first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The preview highlights the stylish new look for Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc—complete with longer hair and a three-piece suit—as he investigates a shocking murder.
The crime itself is as dramatic as Blanc’s new wardrobe. A priest, played by Josh Brolin, is killed during Mass, an “impossible” act that will require all of the detective’s genius to solve. The teaser promises a film that balances its sophisticated style with high-stakes suspense.
The cast is a formidable collection of talent, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, all of whom will play key roles in the unfolding drama. The visual refresh for Blanc suggests a new evolution for the character, adding another layer of interest for returning fans.
The film recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th. It is scheduled for a limited theatrical engagement starting November 26th, before making its highly anticipated debut on Netflix on December 12th.
