TRIVIA

Trivia

Like its predecessors, named after a song. 'Wake Up Dead Man' is from U2's 1997 album 'Pop'.

In August 2025, Netflix announced that the planned theatrical release of this will be scaled back from earlier plans and the film will only have a token theatrical release instead before going straight to their streaming platform. Apparently neither director Rian Johnson or star Daniel Craig were very happy at this decision as they had both wanted audiences to have the option of seeing it shown at cinemas but their wishes were overruled.

In September 2025 Netflix finally caved in to Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig's demand that the film get a theatrical release and agreed to give it a two week theatrical run before going straight to streaming.

This was Jeremy Renner's first movie after his near-fatal snow plow accident in 2023. He said, "It's a lot of support, man. It's lovely to have it. There's such a communion and camaraderie that happens, especially on a movie like this. This is not even really a movie to me, it's more like a stage play. We're always together, we're always in each other's faces, even when we're acting. When you have 15 people on a camera, you spend a lot of time with them. It reminds me of doing a play. It feels good to be back and welcomed back to the job that I love, with really great people."

Glenn Close said, "Well, when I got the phone call, it was like something out of heaven. I never thought of myself in one of the Knives Out movies, and I was so thrilled to be included. To hear about everyone else who was in it. We just became this wonderful ensemble company. And we kept each other company through the whole shoot. We were always in our tent laughing, sleeping, reading, getting to know each other. It's one of the great gifts to have such an intense experience with people who you know will be your dear friends for the rest of your life."
