After making $312 million at the box office, it was no surprise when a bidding war started for the rights to sequels. Ultimately, Netflix paid a reported $450 million for the franchise, and Johnson delivered 2022's "Glass Onion."

"If each one of these can really be what Agatha Christie did, if it can be not just in a totally new location and a new cast, but also trying something exciting, I'll keep doing it as long as Daniel and I are having a good time," he said. "I'll keep making these as long as they let me."The James Bond actor echoed the same sentiment in an interview with Deadline in November 2022."Rian seems to me to be very excited about getting on with the next one. He's already got some ideas, and they sound to me to be really interesting, so I'm going to let him just get on with that," Craig said."I mean, if people are interested, then we'll make them," he continued. "But if there ever came a point where either Rian and I thought we were just churning them out, I think we would back away. I mean, I just don't think that's what either of us want to do in life. Unless people are getting genuine fun out of them, forget it.""Wake Up Dead Man" takes place back on American soil.The "Wake Up Dead Man" logo.NetflixOne of the most important ingredients of a whodunit is an interesting location."Knives Out" is set in a quirky mansion in Massachusetts, while "Glass Onion" takes place on a Greek island owned by Edward Norton's egotistical billionaire, Miles Bron.When BI spoke to Johnson back in December 2022, he revealed that "Wake Up Dead Man" will be set in the US."I want it to be in America. There's a lot of tempting things of going to Paris or the Alps but I feel it's really important that these are American movies," he said."Even with 'Glass Onion,' it's set overseas but it's a group of Americans who are trapped on an island together, so bringing it back to somewhere a little closer to home I think could be a good thing for the next one," Johnson added.The trailer for "Wake Up Dead Man" shows Josh Brolin's character is the victim.Josh Brolin in "Wake Up Dead Man."John Wilson/NetflixEvery whodunit has to start with a death, and the trailer for "Wake Up Dead Man" doesn't waste any time revealing that Josh Brolin's character is the unlucky victim.There's still a lot we don't know about the movie, but the trailer implies that Blanc will set out to solve the murder of a priest (Brolin) by looking into the lives of a young priest (Josh O'Connor) and a colorful collection of individuals who last saw the victim (Scott, Washington, Close, Renner, and Church).Read the original article on Business Insider
