Poster: “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery”

Netflix

Netflix has released the first poster for Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” the third entry in the filmmaker’s Benoit Blanc film series.

Daniel Craig returns as master detective Blanc who is investigating his most dangerous case yet with Josh O’Connor as a young priest who ends up helping him in his investigations.

Joining them are Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Thomas Haden Church, Mila Kunis, Daryl McCormack, Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny and Kerry Washington.

Johnson says the new entry is a much more a Gothic and much more grounded tone than the last two films, going to some places more akin to Agatha Christie’s darkest works or Edgar Allan Poe. Plot specifics are under wraps.

Johnson and Ram Bergman are producing with the film which will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival next month in the UK.

After that it gets a limited U.S. theatrical run on November 26th followed by a release on Netflix worldwide on December 12th,
