In the third installment of in the Knives Out franchise, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix, circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt, tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq., aspiring politician Cy Draven, town doctor Nat Sharp, best-selling author Lee Ross, and concert cellist Simone Vivane. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

In addition to Daniel Craig, the ensemble cast also includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. This past weekend, the dynamic cast and filmmakers including writer, director and producer Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman (who also served as a producer), took the Toronto International Film Festival by storm as the film premiered to a rapturous reception. The electric chemistry of the group was captured in a stunning portrait by Frank Ockenfels.
