Not much is known about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. All we get for the synopsis is ” Benoit Blanc returns for his most dangerous case yet“. That plot gives very little away, Tudum do provide a little more info…

“Johnson’s latest film brings Blanc to a small hamlet in leafy upstate New York, where eager young priest Jud Duplenticy (O’Connor) has been sent to assist the local priest, Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Brolin). A charismatic firebrand, Wicks tends to a flock that includes Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), Samson Holt (Haden Church), Vera Draven (Washington), Cy Draven (McCormack), Nat Sharp (Renner), Lee Ross (Scott), and Simone Vivane (Spaeny).

After a seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, local police chief Geraldine Scott (Kunis) joins forces with Blanc to unravel a mystery that pushes the boundaries of both faith and reason. But as Blanc puts it, “This was dressed as a miracle, it’s just a murder. And I solve murders.”

Netflix have also teased the film with a new Poster…

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will make it’s world premiere on 8th October, at BFI London Film Festival. Arriving in select UK and Irish cinemas on 28th November before heading to Netflix globally on 12th December.
