Director Rian Johnson (Knives Out, The Last Jedi) opens up about how Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (PG-13) explores civility in a divided culture through the unlikely relationship between a skeptical detective and a kind-hearted priest. He reflects on growing up evangelical, walking away from his faith, and why those experiences shaped the film’s most emotional scenes. Johnson explains why it mattered to him that the characters disagree deeply yet still learn from each other and grow. He also shares what’s next for Benoit Blanc and the future of the Knives Out franchise.
