Daniel Craig reprises his role as Benoit Blanc in this third chapter in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series of murder mysteries, as the brilliant (and charming) private eye seeks to uncover whodunit this time.
Writer-director Rian Johnson received a Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize “for originality of vision” for his first feature Brick (2005). Since then, he has applied that inventiveness to a variety of films, among them The Brothers Bloom (2008),Looper (2012), and Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi(2017). He received a Best Original Screenplay Oscar® nomination for Knives Out (MVFF42) and a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination for its first sequel Glass Onion (MVFF45). Wake Up Dead Manis the latest in the series.
