Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (also known as simply Wake Up Dead Man ) is an upcoming American mystery film that is the third installment in the Knives Out film series, following Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022). It is directed and written by Rian Johnson , and stars Daniel Craig , who reprises his role as master detective Benoit Blanc.[3] [4] The ensemble cast also includes Josh O'Connor , Glenn Close , Josh Brolin , Mila Kunis , Jeremy Renner , Kerry Washington , Andrew Scott , Cailee Spaeny , Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church .
Production [ edit ]
Development [ edit ]
Before the release of Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson said he would like to create sequels with Detective Benoit Blanc investigating further mysteries, and already had an idea for a new film.[5] On March 31, 2021, it was reported that Netflix bought the rights to two Knives Out sequels for over $400 million.[6]
Writing [ edit ]
In June 2022, Johnson revealed that Knives Out 3 was a working title with his intent being that each film has a distinct title, citing the works of Agatha Christie as his inspiration for the films and the individual titles.[7] In November 2022, Johnson said that he was preparing to work on writing the third film.[8] By January 2023, Johnson confirmed that he had started writing the script for the third film, stating that it will be tonally and thematically different from the previous installments.[9] Johnson later stated that though he had approved the subtitle of A Knives Out Mystery for the previous installment , he would like to rename the series and add A Benoit Blanc Mystery as subtitles to future installments.[10]
In October 2023, following the resolution of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike , Johnson announced that he had started working on the script for the third movie. The filmmaker stated that he has the premise planned, and can begin writing again.[11]
Casting [ edit ]
Daniel Craig was expected to reprise his role early in development; he acknowledged interest in returning early on during the project's development.[12] Craig was paid $100 million for his involvement in the two Knives Out sequels.[13] In May 2024, Josh O'Connor , Cailee Spaeny , Andrew Scott , Kerry Washington , Glenn Close , Jeremy Renner , Mila Kunis , and Daryl McCormack joined the main cast.[14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] The following month, Josh Brolin and Thomas Haden Church joined the cast.[21] [22]
Filming [ edit ]
Principal photography began on June 10, 2024, in London .[14] [23] [24] [25] On June 19, 2024, Close revealed that she was "really hit hard" with both COVID-19 and Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which also revealed to have resulted in her being able to only participate in two days of filming by this point in time.[26] [27]
Release [ edit ]
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is expected to be released in 2025 on Netflix.
In September 2022, Johnson confirmed his intention to make more films in the series.[29] Later that month Craig and Johnson separately said that they would continue making further films, so long as they were both involved together.[30]
