Upcoming Developments in the Knives Out Film Franchise
In the world of mystery and intrigue, the Knives Out series continues to captivate audiences with its witty dialogue, intricate plots, and the enigmatic detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig. As we approach the release of the third instalment, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, slated for 2025, questions about the future of the series are on everyone's minds.
Currently, there is no official confirmation or detailed announcement about any Benoit Blanc films beyond Wake Up Dead Man. Director Rian Johnson, who has masterfully steered the series so far, has indicated that while Craig remains open to continuing as Benoit Blanc, Johnson himself plans to focus on other projects after Wake Up Dead Man.
Johnson, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone's film critic Alan Sepinwall, expressed his openness to the idea of additional films. However, he did not have something specific in mind for future films. Instead, he aims to continue pushing boundaries with each film, burning the ship into the sea each time and asking himself how he will make anything ever again.
This approach suggests that while a fourth Benoit Blanc movie is not currently in active development, the door remains open. Johnson has mentioned working on an original idea unrelated to the mystery genre or the Knives Out franchise, which indicates that the series' future is not set in stone.
As we eagerly await the release of Wake Up Dead Man, let's savour the suspense and the thrill of solving yet another mystery with Benoit Blanc. For more updates and insights on the Knives Out series, visit Olivia Rutigliano's website.
