\n\t\t\t\t\tDetective Benoit Blanc’s third outing in ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ has a more gothic and darker tone than its previous installments\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
LONDON, United Kingdom \u2013 Daniel Craig\u2019s third outing as the charismatic detective Benoit Blanc in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery opened the London Film Festival on Wednesday, kicking off 12 days of red carpets, screenings and talks with the likes of Oscar winners Daniel Day-Lewis and Chloe Zhao.<\/p>\n
Craig led co-stars including Glenn Close, Josh Brolin and Mila Kunis on the red carpet for the latest Knives Out whodunit, which has a more gothic and darker tone than 2019\u2019s Knives Out and Glass Onion released in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re all different from each other, which is what I think we set out to do \u2026 we wanted them all to be standalone so that each one had a different flavor,\u201d Craig told Reuters of the three films.<\/p>\n
Asked what it was like to take on the role once again, he added: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t do it unless I had fun doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the murder mystery, which also stars Josh O\u2019Connor, Jeremy Renner, Daryl McCormack and Cailee Spaeny, Brolin\u2019s small-town priest Monsignor Wicks is killed, with suspicion turning to one of his parishioners.<\/p>\n
Writer-director Rian Johnson, also behind the earlier Knives Out movies, said he and Craig started talking about ideas for Wake Up Dead Man right after screening Glass Onion at the London Film Festival.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of doing something a little more grounded seemed like it could be a good challenge \u2026 hopefully it\u2019s still funny, hopefully it\u2019s still entertaining and a really fun ride for audiences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Some 247 titles will feature during the 69th edition of the BFI London Film Festival, with famous names including George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Paul Mescal expected in town to promote their respective movies Jay Kelly, After the Hunt and Hamnet.<\/p>\n
Also on the line-up are Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein, Emma Stone\u2019s latest collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia, as well as Anemone for which Day-Lewis came out of retirement for his son\u2019s feature-film directorial debut.<\/p>\n
Lanthimos and Day-Lewis will also take part in talks about their work alongside Zhao, who will discuss her Hamnet adaptation.<\/p>\n
Forty-two percent of the works on the schedule were made by female or nonbinary filmmakers, organisers say.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really want the program to reflect the city that we\u2019re in so we\u2019re really looking for an enormous geographic diversity and we\u2019re also just looking for the program to represent the world around us,\u201d London Film Festival Director Kristy Matheson said.<\/p>\n
