Rian Johnson Unveils First Look Photo For ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’


The 'Knives Out' threequel got a first look photo courtesy of Rian Johnson on Monday as production kicked off.

Depicting Craig with long hair, the black-and-white still was shared by filmmaker Rian Johnson to commemorate the start of production on the anticipated Netflix threequel. The franchise launched with Johnson’s 2019 whodunit Knives Out, starring Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Plummer and more, which grossed over $310 million worldwide. Following the popularity of the first film, which landed an Oscar nomination for Original Screenplay, Netflix acquired the rights to produce two sequels for $450 million — the first of which, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, was released in 2022.
