Enthusiasm for Rian Johnson‘s highly anticipated, big-screen extravaganza, “, “, continues to thrive, with audiences not having much longer to immerse themselves in the thrilling events. Johnson gives an optimistic update on the production of the third installment of “Knives Out”, aiming to deliver the most exceptional cinematic experience for its release.

As a devoted fan, I excitedly share that Johnson himself revealed to Business Insider (via ) that “Wake Up Dead Man” will grace our screens this fall, expanding the anticipation even more. Johnson further emphasized his ambition for “Wake Up Dead Man” to be screened on as many platforms as possible, expressing a hopeful desire for a broad theatrical release concurrent with its debut on Netflix. To put it simply, I can’t wait to see this mystery unfold on the big screen for as long and in as many places as possible: “I want it to play in as many theaters for as long as possible.” We’re going all out to secure every opportunity available for a theatrical release, aiming to bring this cinematic experience to as many viewers as we can.

Johnson, along with lead actor Daniel Craig (who plays detective Benoit Blanc), have publicly advocated for the film “Wake Up Dead Man” to be shown in movie theaters first, rather than being exclusively available on a streaming platform. Craig emphasizes that it would be a significant oversight for the streaming service not to release the film in cinemas initially.

He expressed this sentiment by stating, “I believe that if you present a film that audiences are eager to watch, they will flock to it. The feeling of being in a packed theater and sharing that experience is something I cherish deeply, and I long for more of such moments in our world.

This film, titled “Wake Up Dead Man,” boasts an impressive ensemble cast featuring Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Josh O’Connor, Thomas Haden Church, Glenn Close, and others. Notably, its box office success surpassed the cumulative earnings of the previous two “Knives Out” movies.

Will the Third Film Be Just as Acclaimed?
