Full Trailer for Rian Johnson’s ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Whodunit Sequel

“This case is solvable, right?” “Well, I’m incapable if not solving a crime. Oh you’ll see – it’s fun!” Netflix has revealed the full official trailer for Rian Johnson’s next whodunit mystery titled Wake Up Dead Man, also known as Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The clever mystery film premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews, as expected, a much darker and more serious thriller this time. This is Johnson’s follow-up to Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion (2022) continuing with Daniel Craig returning as Benoit Blanc in what is called “his most dangerous case yet.” In this one, Blanc arrives to investigate a peculiar murder at a church which he hints might be an impossible crime to solve. The lack of an obvious suspect prompts the police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic… The superb ensemble cast includes Josh O’Connor & Josh Brolin as priests, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, with Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. One of the best trailers for any Knives Out movie yet! There’s some sly humor in it along with more of a closer look at the murder & what’s going on with all these people involved. Cannot wait to watch! In theaters soon before it’s on Netflix in December. // Continue Reading ›
