“Can I get an ‘Amen?’” Rian Johnson thundered, energizing a packed audience at the world premiere of his third chapter in the beloved Knives Out saga, titled Wake Up Dead Man. The event took place Saturday night at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

In response, the audience enthusiastically echoed back shouts of ‘Amen,’ but those early cheers were merely a prelude to the uproarious laughter and thunderous applause that filled the theater throughout the gripping two-hour gothic thriller.

As the credits rolled, the crowd erupted into applause for the star-studded cast, which included luminaries like Daniel Craig, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Josh Brolin. The audience welcomed them on stage with roaring cheers for a lively Q&A session.

Little did the audience know, this talented ensemble was also seeing the film for the very first time. The excitement in the room was palpable, with each actor expressing their delight over the film and the camaraderie they shared on set, all under Johnson’s deft direction.

Johnson noted that all three installments of Knives Out have made their debut at TIFF. "Being here for the third time, with this incredible cast, is just the best feeling. I can’t wait to share this movie with everyone,” he stated, brimming with anticipation.

In this thrilling new adventure, Craig reprises his role as the sharp-witted detective Benoit Blanc, faced with his most perilous case yet. Reflecting on the end of this trilogy—at least for now—Craig shared his surprises throughout the journey. “We created the first film with no expectations, just aiming to make the best movie possible. And look where we are now.”

However, Craig didn’t close the door on future installments, hinting that a return to the character is possible if the films maintain their high standards. “As long as they keep delivering top-tier quality, I’m game to continue.”

So, in the world of Benoit Blanc, the mystery might just be unfolding further. Stay tuned for more excitement!
