‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser: Craig, Close, and Renner Lead a Starry Cast

The cast list for the next Knives Out film is a spectacle in itself, and the first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man puts this star power on full display. Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc, leading an ensemble that includes Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, and many other acclaimed actors.
The story centers on a crime that challenges the very logic of detection: the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin) in his own church during a service. This “impossible” case provides the backdrop for a dramatic and suspenseful whodunit from the mind of writer-director Rian Johnson.
The film’s cast is rounded out by Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, and Josh O’Connor, guaranteeing a film rich with talent and compelling performances. The teaser also gives a glimpse of Blanc’s new look, featuring longer hair and a smart three-piece suit.
After its successful world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th, the film is now heading for a global release. Wake Up Dead Man will play in select theaters from November 26th before launching on Netflix on December 12th.
