Knives Out 3 has a production photo!
We still don't know what it's about, but we have another clue...
We have now gotten a bit more information about the new Rian Johnson film, the third installment in the Benoit Blanc series, after after Knives Out and Glass Onion. This third film, which is called Wake Up Dead Man, is projected to premiere sometime this year, has officially released a photo from the production.
Behold! This past week, Johnson tweeted:
A first look at Daniel Craig and Josh O’Connor in the next Benoit Blanc mystery, Wake Up Dead Man. Working on it, much more to come! pic.twitter.com/1cGPdPpAZ2

The photograph in the tweet shows Benoit Blanc, with slightly longer hair than in the last adventure, standing in a Gothic church, while a man in priest’s clothes (Josh O’Connor), lolls against a pew.
Here it is, on its own:
Exciting! What does this mean?
I have no idea… the plot remains reatively unknown, we do know that it finds Daniel Craig’s gentleman sleuth Benoit Blanc on a dangerous case. It seems to be set in the UK, and stars (in addition to Daniel Craig, of course), also includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
Stay tuned for more of our Knives Out series coverage!
