Poster released for new "Knives Out" movie.
"Knives Out" is one of the most fun mystery franchises over the past 20+ years. Daniel Craig stars as detective Benoit Blanc. The first film is outstanding start to finish. The second film - "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" - wasn't as great, but still definitely worth watching. Now, Netflix has dropped a new look at "Wake Up Dead Man."
The film's poster was released Tuesday morning and features all the main players looking down at a grave site. That seems to track, given the film's title.

As noted above, the plot details are pretty sparse, and information surrounding the film is being kept under lock and key. You'd think the film had America's nuclear secrets in it or something.
What I do know is the cast is outrageously stacked. Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis and Jeremy Renner are four A-list names, and they're coming together for "Wake Up Dead Man." That cast alone is reason enough to be excited.
