Knives Out 3 Plot and Production Details
Details about the plot of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery are currently being kept under wraps. Rian Johnson, who created and directed the previous films, is back to write and direct this third entry. Filming is set to begin soon, with the movie expected to be released in 2025.
Rian Johnson has previously expressed his enthusiasm for the whodunnit genre. On social media platform X, he shared, “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.”
