In this third installment of the "Knives Out" series, Benoit Blanc (Craig) takes on his most challenging case yet. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (O’Connor) is sent to assist Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Brolin), a series of mysterious events unfold within the church community. With a murder that defies logic, local police chief Geraldine Scott (Kunis) teams up with detective Benoit Blanc to unravel the perplexing mystery.
Director Rian Johnson expressed his desire for a wider theatrical release for "Wake Up Dead Man," emphasizing the importance of reaching a larger audience through traditional cinema.
