A new detective adventure is on the horizon, just in time for the holiday season. The latest trailer for *Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery* showcases Daniel Craig’s iconic Benoit Blanc diving into a chilling case set in a Gothic, small-town setting. This installment promises a blend of classic murder mystery elements with Johnson’s signature wit.

Building on the success of the original *Knives Out*, which masterfully paid homage to Agatha Christie’s storytelling, this franchise continues to attract star-studded casts and intricate plots. Craig has described Blanc as a refreshing departure from his James Bond persona, and fans eagerly await how this character will unravel the peculiar death of a parish priest.

Expert critics note that Johnson’s films consistently combine clever plotting with rich characterizations, making each installment a must-watch. The cast features Josh Brolin as the victim, Glenn Close as a devout parishioner, Mila Kunis as the local police chief, and Jeremy Renner as the town doctor, among others. With such talent, “Wake Up Dead Man” is shaping up to be another compelling addition to the mystery genre.
