Netflix Unveils Tense First Teaser for ‘Wake Up Dead Man’

The tension is palpable in the first teaser for Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The newly released clip reintroduces Daniel Craig as the clever detective Benoit Blanc, who is drawn into a dark and perplexing case involving murder within the holy confines of a church.
The central plot point, revealed in the teaser, is the murder of a Catholic priest (played by Josh Brolin) during Mass. Blanc labels the case “the impossible crime,” hinting at a mystery that will push his skills to their absolute limit. The preview is heavy on atmosphere and suspense, promising a thrilling cinematic experience.
Rian Johnson’s film features another spectacular ensemble, with Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, and Andrew Scott among the stars. The teaser also highlights a new, more formal look for Blanc, who appears with longer hair and a three-piece suit, a stark contrast to his previous, more relaxed attire.
Following a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film is poised for a major holiday release. Wake Up Dead Man will open in select theaters on November 26th and will be available for streaming globally on Netflix starting December 12th.
