“Knives Out” director is about to start production on the third installment of his mystery series.
This one will be called “Wake Up Dead Man.” It stars Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc and we’ll see it in 2025 via Netflix.
Johnson says: “We’re about to go into production on the 3rd one, and I’m very, very excited to share the title, which gives a little hint of where it’s going.”
He adds: “I love everything about whodunnits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.”
I hope he learned a lesson from “Glass Onion.” More is more, as they say. The low-fi charms of the first movie were lost in the second one, which was over the top and repetitive. “Glass Onion” was also more about the set, and the logo. Now there’s a new onion like egg object below. Please, don’t over do it!
