Netflix has confirmed that Rian Johnson’s imminent TIFF world premiere Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will get a two-week US theatrical run in select cinemas starting on November 26.
It remained unclear how many sites the whodunnit ensemble led by Daniel Craig as the redoubtable Benoit Blanc will play in, or theatrical plans for other territories. The film will debut on the service on December 12, as previously announced.
Wake Up Dead Man premieres in TIFF in Special Presentations on September 6, and will open BFI London Film Festival on October 8. Knives Out and Glass Onion played each festival in 2019 and 2022, respectively.
The cast includes Josh O’Connor, Andrew Scott, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Cailee Spaeny, Thomas Haden Church, Kerry Washington, Daryl McCormack, and Jeremy Renner.
The story is set at a cozy New England mansion, where a family’s greed boils over in the wake of its patriarch’s mysterious death.
