In that film, Blanc teamed up with nurse Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) to uncover the truth in a twisted case filled with angry relatives, red herrings, and fabulous knitwear.<\/p>\n<p>Blanc\u2019s skills were called upon once more in\u00a0Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, when he headed to Greece to peel back the layers of intrigue surrounding tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) and an eclectic group of disruptors. Blanc was last seen sitting on the beach of Bron\u2019s estate on an idyllic Greek island, calmly pondering the chaotic events of his past few days. But\u00a0the fiery ending of\u00a0Glass Onion could also be seen as a beginning \u2014 to the master sleuth\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n<p>This time around will see Blanc unraveling a brand-new murder mystery in an as-yet-undisclosed setting, surrounded by a colorful new cast of suspects. Read on to investigate further.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p><strong>What is\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery\u00a0about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Details about Blanc\u2019s next case remain tightly buried \u2014 perhaps in the coffin prominently featured in the film\u2019s brief teaser. A pensive Blanc describes it in voice-over as being his \u201cmost dangerous case yet,\u201d so all we can do is hope for his continued safety. Are there any hints to be gathered elsewhere? \u201cI love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is,\u201d\u00a0Johnson posted on X in a thread announcing the film\u2019s new title. \u201cThere\u2019s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Johnson has sung the praises of Christie and his other whodunnit influences; you can catch up with\u00a0his\u00a0Glass Onion\u00a0reading guide right here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s in the cast of\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with\u00a0Knives Out and\u00a0Glass Onion, Daniel Craig\u2019s Benoit Blanc is joined by a robust \u2014 and all new \u2014 cast of suspects in\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man. In the past, Johnson\u00a0has described his casting approach as akin to \u201cthrowing a dinner party.\u201d He built his murderers\u2019 row of suspects for\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man in much the same way. \u201cWe\u2019ve been very lucky with each of these movies to have gathered some of my favorite actors on the planet, and that\u2019s absolutely the case here,\u201d Johnson tells Tudum. \u201cThey\u2019re also all lovely folks who get along, which is the dinner party aspect of it. When you\u2019re making an ensemble movie like this, I think that\u2019s key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This particular dinner party includes the following:<\/p>\n<p>* Daniel Craig (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Casino Royale)<\/p>\n<p>* Josh O\u2019Connor (Challengers,\u00a0The Crown)<\/p>\n<p>* Glenn Close (Dangerous Liaisons,\u00a0Fatal Attraction)<\/p>\n<p>* Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men, Dune)<\/p>\n<p>* Mila Kunis (Black Swan,\u00a0Luckiest Girl Alive)<\/p>\n<p>* Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Town)<\/p>\n<p>* Kerry Washington (Scandal, Django Unchained)<\/p>\n<p>* Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers,\u00a0Ripley)<\/p>\n<p>* Cailee Spaeny (Civil War, Priscilla)<\/p>\n<p>* Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande;\u00a0Peaky Blinders)<\/p>\n<p>* Thomas Haden Church (Sideways, Spider-Man 3)<\/p>\n<p>You may recall that Jeremy Renner\u2019s \u201cRenning Hot\u201d habanero chili pepper sauce played a\u00a0prominent role in\u00a0Glass Onion. However, this time, Renner himself will appear \u2014 and not just on a hot sauce label. \u201cJeremy\u2019s a great actor who I\u2019ve wanted to work with for a long time,\u201d Johnson says. \u201cI was very relieved he thought the hot sauce thing was funny! He\u2019s playing a proper part in this one, we\u2019ll keep the sauce off-screen. Maybe we\u2019ll sneak a few bottles onto the catering table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the title\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man\u00a0mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first\u00a0Knives Out\u00a0drew its name from\u00a0a Radiohead song, while\u00a0Glass Onion\u00a0drew its titular inspiration from\u00a0the Beatles\u2019 song of the same name. So where does the title of this third\u00a0Knives Out Mystery\u00a0spring from?\u00a0 As it turns out,\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man\u00a0shares its title with a\u00a01997 U2 song off their album\u00a0Pop. \u201cPop is a very underrated album, and that song is very right for the title,\u201d Johnson tells us. \u201cBut I\u2019ve had \u2018Wake Up Dead Man\u2019 in my head for a long while, and I first heard the phrase in American folk music.\u201d Feel free to\u00a0listen closely for any possible clues.<\/p>\n<p>When will\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man\u00a0be on Netflix? <strong>Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery<\/strong> is coming to Netflix globally in 2025.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p><strong>If you like the article, share your thoughts below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/nobuhosokigmail-com\/\">Check out more of Nobuhiro&#8217;s articles.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benoit Blanc returns in his most dangerous case yet.
