Entertainment Desk: The knives are out, but the scissors are sheathed as Daniel Craig debuts a long hairdo in a first look from Rian Johnson’s next mystery movie.
Rian Johnson, the director of the franchise, dropped a photo on social media commemorating the first day of shooting for “Wake Up Dead Man”, the third film in his “Knives Out” series, due in 2025. The first look image shows Daniel Craig dressed up as the quirky Southern detective Benoit Blanc, wearing a three-piece suit and holding a hat.
Craig, the connective tissue between the three “Knives Out” movies, is joined in “Wake Up Dead Man” by an all-star cast including Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis, Daryl McCormack, and Josh Brolin, among others, reported Variety magazine.
“Wake Up Dead Man” will be distributed by Netflix as part of Johnson’s two-sequel deal with the streamer, worth USD 450 million. Despite the first film, distributed by Lionsgate, grossing USD 312 million at the global box office, Netflix put out “Glass Onion” with only a limited theatrical release, collecting a mere USD 13 million before launching it on streaming.
