Rian Johnson reveals the title of “Knives Out 3”: “Wake Up Dead Man”

Filmmaker Rian Johnson revealed the title of his next crime thriller starring Daniel Craig, set to hit theaters in 2025

Benoit Blanc will return next year, with filmmaker Rian Johnson revealing the name of his next mystery film, Wake up, dead man.

The announcement was accompanied by a short animated teaser in which Daniel Craig as Blanc recounts his past adventures in Knife out And Glass onion and sets the stage for his next big case. “First came the knives,” Craig says slowly. “And then – lo and behold – the glass shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to come to light.”

Aside from the title, Johnson only said the film is “close to starting production.” No further details about the cast or plot were announced and it is unclear when exactly in 2025 Wake up, dead man will be published.

However, Johnson seemed to hint that the new film might be a little different from its predecessors, writing on Twitter: “I love everything about crime, but what I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and being able to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc films.”
