Get ready for a thrilling mystery that will have you on the edge of your seat! Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is about to unravel, and it's shaping up to be a wild ride.
Netflix has just dropped a brand new trailer, and it's got everyone talking. The film promises an impossible crime at a church, but with the brilliant Mr. Benoit Blanc on the case, nothing is off the table. Our very own Chris Bumbray had the privilege of previewing the movie at TIFF, and he couldn't stop raving about it. He describes it as "another wildly entertaining entry" in the Benoit Blanc series, with Josh O'Connor's character, Rev. Jud Duplenticy, stealing the show.
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, intriguing. The trailer reveals a star-studded cast, including Daniel Craig reprising his role as the charismatic detective, alongside an ensemble of talented actors. From Thomas Haden Church to Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, each actor brings their unique flair to the mystery. And let's not forget the potential return of Hugh Grant as Benoit's partner, Phillip.
The new trailer also gives us a glimpse into the roles of these talented individuals. Josh O'Connor takes on the role of the Reverend, while Glenn Close embodies Martha Delacroix, and Josh Brolin steps into the shoes of Msgr. Jefferson Wicks. It's a who's who of Hollywood, and we can't wait to see how they unravel this complex mystery.
And this is the part most people miss: the theatrical experience. Our Chris Bumbray believes that movies like Wake Up Dead Man are best enjoyed with an audience. The energy, the suspense, and the collective gasps make for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
So, are you ready to dive into this Scooby-Doo-esque mystery? Wake Up Dead Man is set to hit theaters on November 26th, with a global streaming release on December 12th. Mark your calendars and get ready for a thrilling ride!
