by

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming Knives Out sequel, Wake Up Dead Man! At 77 years young, Glenn Close is not only gracing our screens again but also leading this new installment after the success of Glass Onion in 2022. Working with Rian Johnson and the incredible cast has been a dream come true for her – one that she describes as “one of the best experiences of my life.”

Title Announcement: The Return of Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man, a hotly anticipated movie, has been confirmed by Glenn Close. At 77 years old, Close steps into the limelight for this latest installment of the Knives Out sequel following the success of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in 2022. In recent interviews, Close shared her excitement about the filming experience, describing it as “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”

At present, she is shooting a movie in London under the guidance of Rian Johnson, who created the Knives Out series. Talking about collaborating with Johnson, she was filled with enthusiasm, referring to him as an exceptional individual—compassionate, intelligent, and someone who laughs heartily. This upcoming film seems to embody such qualities; she appears eager about the prospect of working alongside Johnson and other team members on set.

“He’s such a fine human being. He’s kind; he’s brilliant. He has a great laugh!” 

In simpler terms, “Wake Up Dead Man” is the third movie in the Knives Out series, and fans are excitedly anticipating further updates on its plot. Although specifics are being tightly guarded, a previous sneak peek suggests that the film could involve detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, tackling his most perilous case yet. Notably, in this installment, the character of Benoit Blanc – known for playing James Bond – will sport longer hair as he delves into his role as the astute sleuth.

Recently, Rian Johnson posted on social media a monochrome snapshot of Craig in detective attire. This image has further fueled anticipation for the upcoming movie. For this specific sequel, Johnson has gathered an impressive ensemble cast, consisting of Close, Cailee Spaeny, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, and Jeremy Renner, among others.

Close is very excited about one scene she has been shooting recently where every cast member will be in one room. She could not provide any further elaborations regarding the specifics of it; however, she was enthusiastic to discover how all their performances would gel together, calling it so much fun.

Over the next two weeks, we will film sequences with everyone gathered together, and I’m really looking forward to seeing his actions, hers, and their interactions. It promises to be an exciting time!

Instead, she takes comfort in her loyal pet dog, Pip, who accompanies her during filming. She affectionately refers to him as “little Pippi” and credits him with alleviating her longing for home and making her feel relaxed while on location.

In the times ahead, more films starring Close are being made. As of now, her movie titled “The Deliverance” is playing in cinemas and will be streamed on Netflix starting August 30th. Meanwhile, “Brothers” is scheduled for release on Amazon Prime Video on October 17, following its initial theater release on October 10. Furthermore, she’s working on other projects like “The Summer Book” and “Back in Action.” Following the completion of “Wake Up Dead Man,” Close plans to take a break to recover from the intense filming sessions. This summer, she will travel with Annie to Italy and later return home to Connecticut to spend time with her family.

She derives great fulfillment from being part of the creation of “Wake Up Dead Man.” Her passion for this project and the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional team underscores her commitment to acting. Moreover, fans are eagerly anticipating another Knives Out sequel, which she describes as holding great importance since it offers a remarkable role tailored specifically for her.
