Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.
Knives Out: Autumn in a country house
Glass Onion: Summer on a private island
Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town
So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.
Also, confirmed! Not just that it's the place but also that it was on purpose!
...forgive me, Grace.
WAKE UP DEAD MAN ; DIR. RIAN JOHNSON ; 2025
One of these days Benoit Blanc is going to say "tumblehhhhr" in his stupid foghorn leghorn accent and this website is going to go wild
The fact that Father Wicks died because he was so consumed by the need to punish his daughter for her "sins" that he literally swallowed 'Eve's Apple' is maddening to me, literally named it for original sin but was so caught up in attaching that sin to femininity that he killed himself over it. Literally named his daughter Grace and never gave her a single spec of it. Literally ate the apple too. Literally.
WAKE UP DEAD MAN SPOILERS!
the Benoit Blanc Mysteries teach us 4 important things:
- Greed and money corrupts
- kindness and love will be rewarded
- treat someone badly, consistently, and it will come back to bite you
- all Marvel actors are murderers
The untold cases of Benoit Blanc:
- The Tennis Champ
- The Ballet Dancer with the Thing and the Thing
- The Kentucky Derby Thing and the Guy that they caught with the photo-finish camera

BENOIT BLANC — “Do you see that?”
PERCEPTION [Challenging : Failure] — There’s something strange about the photo. An inconsequential leather bag.
JUD DUPLENTICY — “Yeah.”
BENOIT BLANC — “Oh. That is, uh…”
rian johnson: hiii jeremy so sorry to hear about your horrific accident im so glad you recovered. would love to work together on the next knives out!!
jeremy renner: oh wow nice im so flattered yknow things have been really tough after my various and extremely serious physical injuries including a collapsed lung and over 30 broken bones. so glad to get back into filmmaking
rian johnson: ok so heres the pitch. im going to throw you down the fucking stairs
so you’re telling me one of the characters in wake up dead man is a formerly beloved author who, after the culmination of his wildly popular fiction series, has been radicalized online by right-wing conspiracy theorists, has abandoned his successful writing career in favor of spending all of his time on social media (and what little writing he does put out on his substack is praised only by his staunchest supporters), and is SO convinced that everyone’s out to get him that he’s dug a literal moat around his (distinctly castle-shaped) house?
lol. lmao, even.
Kinda Love how people Bring Up the iPad from Glass onion but Not that Geraldine got Benoits number from Elliot, the policeman from the First movie.
I Just Love These Details and These movies, they are so awesome.
when Jud said "God didn't hide me or fix me, He loves me when I'm guilty, and that's what I should be doing for these people, not this whodunnit game!" and "we are here to serve the world! Not beat it! That is what Christ did" and "by using me in your game, you're setting me against my real and only purpose in life, which is not to fight the wicked and bring them to justice, but to serve them and bring them to Christ. Otherwise I'm just as bad as Wicks, making it about me and not Jesus" and "this church is not medieval, we're in New York... it's Neo-Gothic 19th century... and the rites and rituals and costumes, all of it. It's storytelling... the question is, do these stories convince us of a lie, or do they resonate with something deep inside us that's profoundly true?"
