Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig are at it again with the latest installment of their popular Knives Out series, "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery". The results are nothing short of impressive. Critics have awarded this film a staggering 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, outpacing its predecessors in terms of both critical and audience acclaim.
To put that into perspective, the first two films in the series only managed to reach a 97% and 91% critic score respectively, while their audience scores were slightly lower at 92%. This time around, "Wake Up Dead Man" has not only surpassed its predecessors but also taken the top spot as Daniel Craig's highest-grossing film. His previous stint as James Bond in "Casino Royale" holds a respectable 90% audience score.
With such stellar reviews, it's no wonder Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig are keen on continuing their collaboration. In fact, they've expressed their desire to make Benoit Blanc mysteries forevermore. And with the success of this series, who can blame them? From filming in exotic locations to reuniting with A-list stars, what more could you ask for?
As we await the release of "Wake Up Dead Man" on Netflix (December 12th) after its limited theatrical run, it's worth noting that Rian Johnson has already stated his intentions to move forward with another installment. While there hasn't been an official greenlight for Knives Out 4 yet, given Johnson's past comments about dropping a trilogy and the recent cancellation of Star Wars: Episode IX, this seems like a very likely scenario.

I'm loving how "Wake Up Dead Man" is breaking records! 94% on Rotten Tomatoes is insane, especially since it outshines the first two films in terms of audience scores too 
. Daniel Craig's involvement always brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the series, and with Rian Johnson at the helm, we know it'll be a wild ride 
. The fact that they're already talking about making more Benoit Blanc mysteries is music to my ears 
. With this series, you get everything: talented cast, clever plots, and some serious star power 
️. Bring on Knives Out 4, I'm ready for it! 
It's like Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig just perfected the formula, you know? The first one was kinda awkward, but it grew on me like a warm sweater 
. And this new one is just so slick, with all these twists and turns that'll keep you guessing till the very end. I mean, who doesn't love a good whodunit? 
Still, it's weird that they're gonna keep making these, like, forevermore or whatever... Daniel Craig has done Bond for ages, what's he got to do with Knives Out now? 
Anyway, I'm just hyped for the next one and can't wait to see more of Benoit Blanc in action 
. I mean, I've seen better plots in a mediocre thriller from the early 2000s. Don't get me wrong, Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson are talented, but come on, it's just another whodunit with a bunch of rich people dying. And 94%? That's a joke 
. The first two films were way better, and at least they had some originality to them. This one's just a cash-grab trying to milk the franchise for all it's worth 
. Can't wait until someone makes a decent mystery that doesn't involve a bunch of entitled billionaires 
, i mean, who needs a mystery when you've got dan craine's 'acting' skills 
. And can we talk about how talented Rian Johnson is as a director? The guy is like, a master of whodunits! 
94% on rotten tomatoes is insane! i mean, who wouldn't want to watch benoit blanc solve another murder mystery 
can't wait to see what's next for this series!!! 
The way they've built this franchise from two standalone films to a full-fledged series is pure genius 
. Can't wait to see what's in store for Benoit Blanc next... maybe we'll get more of those insane twists and turns?
