Benoit Blanc's Darkest Case: All The Secrets of Knives Out 3 Revealed
The famed detective has a new puzzle. It is his most challenging case. An incredible ensemble cast joins him. Learn everything about this new mystery.
The world's most peculiar private investigator is gearing up for his next adventure in Wake Up Dead Man. This third entry in the celebrated whodunnit series brings Daniel Craig's southern-fried sleuth to the chilly climes of upstate New York for what is being described as his most intricate and emotionally resonant investigation to date.
At the heart of the story is a seemingly impossible crime. A former boxer who found a new calling as a priest, portrayed by Josh O'Connor, finds himself the prime suspect in the murder of his overbearing superior, a Monsignor played by Josh Brolin. The priest, Jud Duplenticy, must turn to our hero for help, as he was the only person present with the victim at the moment of death, making his claim of innocence a very tough sell.
Surrounding the central duo is a truly spectacular lineup of talent. The film boasts performances from Hollywood heavyweights like Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and the legendary Glenn Close. Their roles are still shrouded in secrecy, but their involvement promises a rich tapestry of suspicious characters and potential motives, a hallmark of the franchise.
Initial screenings have generated tremendous buzz, with many critics hailing it as director Rian Johnson's most ambitious and satisfying work in the series. The film is said to be a more contemplative and character-driven piece. While its critical score is nearly flawless, its just shy of the original's universal acclaim, suggesting a film that takes more risks. This chapter seems to dig deeper into what makes its central character tick.
In a daring move, Johnson has structured the film so that the main character doesn't even appear on screen for the first 40 minutes. This unconventional choice was apparently a source of some initial nervousness but was ultimately embraced as a way to build suspense and establish the world before the master detective arrives. The creative team is already looking ahead, with both Johnson and Craig reportedly brainstorming ideas for even more mysteries down the line.
Audiences will have two opportunities to catch the film before the year is out. A special two-week engagement in theaters begins on November 26, offering a big-screen experience. Following that, it will be available for streaming worldwide on Netflix starting December 12. The movie continues to perfect its unique blend of thrilling mystery and laugh-out-loud comedy, a style that has captivated viewers around the globe.
