A Murderer Hides Among the Faithful in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser

Date:

A killer is hiding among the faithful, and it’s up to Benoit Blanc to find them. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery sets a dramatic stage, revealing that the film’s central murder takes place during a church service, with an entire congregation as suspects.
Daniel Craig returns as the brilliant detective to investigate this “impossible” crime: the death of a priest (Josh Brolin). The teaser is filled with suspense, promising a story where faith and foul play collide, and where a murderer is concealed by the illusion of sanctity.
The film boasts an impressive cast to populate its world of secrets, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner. This installment also gives Blanc a visual update, with Daniel Craig sporting longer hair and a sharp suit, suggesting a more serious tone for this particular investigation.
Having already debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th, Wake Up Dead Man is now on its way to a global audience. The film will be released in select cinemas on November 26th before it begins streaming on Netflix on December 12th.
