Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Legendary Southern-fried detective Benoit Blanc (Emmy and Golden Globe-nominee Daniel Craig, Queer) returns for his most dangerous and personal case yet. When the Monsignor of a small church (Oscar-nominee Josh Brolin, Dune) is murdered in a fashion that defies all logic, Blanc's suspicion falls upon Father Jud Duplenticy (the show-stealing Emmy-winner Josh O'Connor, Challengers) as well as the Monsignor's flock, featuring a star-studded cast including MIFF Mid-Life honoree Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), Emmy-nominee Andrew Scott (Blue Moon), Golden Globe-nominee Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), Oscar-nominee Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), and Golden Globe-nominee Mila Kunis (Black Swan). In this clash between faith and fact, what secrets will be revealed?

"Does the unsolvable murder truly exist? I mean, not Benoit Blanc, right? He’s always two steps ahead. Right? The fact that Johnson will have the audience doubting his hero’s abilities whatsoever may just be a win for the art of filmmaking in and of itself. Oh, and don’t worry. It’s also funny. Very funny. Johnson may have new territory to mine, but he still wants to entertain you. Don’t you fret over that."—Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist.
