Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (Rian Johnson, 2025) Movie • Page 6

Benoit is going through a "mid-Knife crisis"

 

Is it a wig?

 

Won't spoil it but there are pics out there of Josh O'Connor in costume and it is interesting lol. Can't wait to see the plot/set up of this one.

 

LFG

 

after watching romulus last night, im very excited to see cailee in this

 

i'll buy it when i hear it from a far better source than jeff sneider

 

Maybe George Clooney and Brad Pitt are making cameos.

 

if that's true, they need to show this shit in as many theaters as possible/put out physical copies. that's too huge a budget to just show in theaters for a week and then throw on streaming.

 

Yeah, but it’s Netflix. They don’t fucking care. Lol

 

i know, and that's what upsets me, lmao

 

If it's true I wouldn't be surprised if most of the budget went to the cast and it's a hell of a star studded cast though!

 

My first thought too. It’s also the last one Netflix is guaranteed to have, so they probably threw even more money at him to make it bigger. I don’t really know how pay works for cameos, but I can’t imagine this doesn’t have some huge secret cameos.

 

remember when the first movie got praised for being a successful midbudget film

 

stupid

 

Cannot possibly imagine that much money going to anything else.

 

Benoit Blanc actually has a CGI sidekick talking raccoon in this which is where all the money went towards

 

Benoit Blanc and the Guardians of the Galaxy

 

$150 million was spent on Craig’s haircut

 

that's why he still has it

 

Hollywood has always pulled this shit with sequels, so it’s not like this isn’t the usual crap we get. The people running Hollywood are not capable of learning why something works and doesn’t work. And then when the sequel inevitably fails, they blame something that had nothing to do with it.

The 2nd movie had the same budget as the 1st and it wasn’t a hit for them. Their brains think more money will solve the problem instead of seeing any other issues it had. Lol

 

other than some people just not liking the plot as much, i don't think i've seen much about Glass Onion not being as big of a success? was viewership poor?

 

I don’t recall reading that Glass Onion wasn’t a success. It’s limited theatrical run brought in a good chunk of change and I think it actually had decent streaming numbers iirc. It’s also the rare Netflix movie that I’ve actually heard people talk about in the wild. Not that that’s real evidence of success.

 

Team Cailee and I liked the first film so I’ll see this
