The Bell Tolls for a New Mystery in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Teaser

The church bell tolls for a murdered priest, signaling the start of a new and daunting mystery for Benoit Blanc. The first teaser for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery uses its solemn setting to create an atmosphere of impending doom and suspense.
Daniel Craig is back as the brilliant detective, drawn into this world of grief and suspicion to solve the “impossible” murder of a clergyman played by Josh Brolin. The teaser suggests a story where every toll of the bell is a reminder of the crime and the ticking clock to find the killer.
The cast of mourners, including Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Mila Kunis, must contend with their grief while also being suspects in Blanc’s investigation. The detective’s new, more formal look adds to the funereal but focused atmosphere of the teaser.
The film has already premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The bell will toll for a global audience when Wake Up Dead Man is released in select theaters on November 26th and on Netflix on December 12th.
