This week, the casting rumor mill began in full force for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Along with some of Hollywood’s hottest young actors, Variety reports that Andrew Scott is circling the project.
The Irish actor will reportedly have a significant role in the upcoming third Knives Out. He’s best known for Searchlight’s All Of Us Strangers and coming off of Netflix’s Ripley.
Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny are also in talks for the project, with What’s On Netflix confirming. Rumors are also swirling that Tom Hardy and Lindsay Lohan will feature in the film, which will see Daniel Craig returning as the fictional legendary sleuth Benoit Blanc.
Little is known about the plot of the film. Daniel Craig narrates in the recently released teaser: “In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed.”
