At the Toronto International Film Festival, Josh Brolin, an Oscar nominee and lead actor in the upcoming film “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” shared during a Q&A session that the dynamic on set was so electrifying that it felt like an “orgy.” The movie, which is the third installment in the popular Knives Out series, features a star-studded cast including Brolin, Glenn Close, Josh O’Connor, Andrew Scott, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, and the returning Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc. Premiering at the festival, the film received positive feedback and praise from both the director, Rian Johnson, and the ensemble cast.
During the Q&A, Glenn Close expressed her enthusiasm for the collaborative effort put into the movie, describing the cast’s experience as forming a close-knit ensemble. She emphasized the bond that was formed during the filming process, stating that they supported each other throughout, sharing laughs, sleeping, reading, and getting to know each other on a personal level. Close highlighted the invaluable gift of creating enduring friendships through such a profound shared experience, affirming that the camaraderie established on set will last a lifetime.
Scheduled for theatrical release on November 26 and streaming on Netflix from December 12, “Wake Up Dead Man” is highly anticipated by fans eager to delve into the intriguing mystery woven by the talented ensemble. With Johnson’s expert storytelling and the stellar performances by the cast, the film is expected to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.
In a separate event, the accomplished actor Cillian Murphy addressed the internet chatter surrounding a viral rumor that circulated about him being the emaciated zombie seen in the trailer for “28 Years Later,” the third installment in the “28 Days Later” franchise. Murphy, known for his role in the original film that catapulted his career, clarified that the zombie was not his character, Jim, as many fans had speculated. Reflecting on the widespread assumption, Murphy humorously acknowledged his son’s role in bringing the rumor to his attention and quipped about the flattering comparison to a zombie cadaver. Despite not appearing in “28 Years Later,” Murphy’s involvement as executive producer and his upcoming role in Nia DeCosta’s project “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” reaffirms his continued association with the franchise.
