Article continues below Scott recently told how he credits acting for helping him overcome a speech impediment. He explained to The Times magazine: "I had a speech impediment as a child and acting helped me be less self-conscious and shy. "I had a strong lisp and in elocution lessons I practised improvisation and verbalising phrases like, 'She sells seashells on the seashore.' "I still find acting helpful." Away from appearing in front of the camera, the actor, who is due to star in 'Wake Up Dead Man', the next Knives Out mystery, takes pleasure in painting. He said: "I love painting people, and my mother [who was an art teacher] was very influential. She made sure that I drew from observation. "She always said, 'Draw something that you see, not something that is in your mind', and that's always stuck with me. "I don't have a life you'd describe as unusual. I live in the city, and I go home to Ireland and see my loved ones. "I go to the gym and, honestly, I just love going to the movies. And galleries. All of that artsy stuff gets my heart beating. Article continues below "Nature is increasingly important to me. I love the coast particularly. And mountains. And spectacular canyons. All of it is pretty amazing."

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Trailer Offers Clues But Not Everything
Daniel Craig returns as Detective Benoit Blanc in Knives Out 3. The new trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery provides just a few clues about the story without revealing too much. Daniel Craig returns as detective Benoit Blanc and this time, a mystery involving something supernatural may test him. The trailer, unveiled at Tudum 2025, doesn't clearly reveal the victim's identity, but it could be Simone Vivane, played by Cailee Spaeny. In the newly released trailer, Benoit is seen interacting with several cast members but not as much with Simone. According to Screen Rant, the trailer creates some mystery around Simone's presence. She isn't clearly shown, but there are two shots – one from behind and another of a woman surrounded by a red light. She doesn't appear much elsewhere in the trailer, and many believe both shots could be of Simone. Speaking about the cast of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, director Rian Johnson told Tudum, 'We've been very lucky with each of these movies to have gathered some of my favourite actors on the planet, and that's absolutely the case here. They're also all lovely folks who get along, which is the dinner party aspect of it. When you're making an ensemble movie like this, I think that's key." The title Wake Up Dead Man comes from a U2 song released in 1997 on their album Pop. Johnson feels that the album doesn't get enough credit and thinks the song fits perfectly as the title for his film. He also shared that the phrase Wake Up Dead Man had stayed with him for a long time. He first came across it while listening to old American folk music. Other than Daniel Craig and Cailee Spaeny, the upcoming suspense thriller also stars Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church. The movie will be streaming on Netflix from December 12. First Published:

Netflix decided to come out of the gate swinging this week, after hosting its 'Tudum 2025 Live Event' over the weekend: a celebration of all the cool shit the streaming giant has cooking. While there were a few live music performances, and celebrity cameos, we're all actually interested in what the streaming brand is bringing us this year – and next. Thankfully, it came with the goods.

Netflix has given us our first proper look at the upcoming sequel this week, as well as dropping a release date bombshell: it's coming next month. Now set to release 25 July, 2025, Adam Sandler's Netflix-backed Happy Gilmore 2 looks every bit as irreverent as the original, if not a bit more formulaic. Fans of the classic movie will be glad to see quite a few returning faces—including Shooter McGavin, played perfectly as always by Christopher McDonald, as well as Happy's happy wife Virginia Venit, played by Modern Family's Julie Bowen. 'One Piece': Season 2 is Dropping in 2026 If you haven't heard on One Piece yet, what rock have you been hiding under? What is arguably one of the most influential manga of all time, which was turned into one of the most successful anime of all time, is making the jump back into live action with the second season of Netflix's One Piece adaptation. That second season is coming in 2026, Netflix announced, which is good news to every Straw Hat out there. And now we've got a good look at one of the series' most popular characters: Tony Tony Chopper, a sweet-loving reindeer that ate the human-human fruit and can speak and walk like a person. How fun! Check out the new trailer above. 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' is Coming 12 December Probably the thing on this list we're most excited about, we've finally been given a good look at Rian Johnson's third Knives Out film: Wake Up Dead Man—and we got a release date! Dropping 12 December 2025, Wake Up Dead Man brings Daniel Craig back as renowned investigator Benoit Blanc as he looks to solve another 'perfect' crime. It seems Craig is one again joined by an absolute banger cast, with Josh Browlin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and Glenn Close bringing some serious heat. If you haven't checked out either the original Knives Out, or its sequel Glass Onion, do it now. Take a Look at 'Squid Game' Season 3, Dropping 27 June After teasing that the incredibly popular Squid Game would finish with a third and final season, Netflix has given us our first look at the upcoming Season 3 with a trailer, and told us when we can expect to see the end of the game: June 27, 2025. The series follows Gi-hun through his initial dealings with the games in Season 1, and his attempt to understand and destroy the games from the inside in Season 2, and following the devastating cliffhanger ending of last season (no spoilers just yet), Season 3 is sure to kick off with a bang. 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Announces Staggered Release If you've been waited with bated breath for the end of Stranger Things, we finally, finally know when we're going to get to see what happens to the people of Hawkins—but, it's not as simple as a single release date. No, instead, we're going to get the first four episodes on 26 November, 2025, three more episodes on 25 December, 2025, and the final episode on 31 December, 2025. Yes, Christmas and New Years are Stranger Things Holidays this year. As for what you can expect from the end of this absolutely epic saga? Well, check out the new trailer above. Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein Teaser Hell yes. A new rendition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo del Toro, starring Oscar Issac as the young scientist himself? What could be better? Well, it's coming this November. The official teaser we got is dripping with gothic charm, and looks absolutely fantastic. del Toro's characteristic style is on full display, and we honestly can't wait to see what crazy stuff he conjures later this year. I just really want him to make that At the Mountains of Madness movie he keeps talking about. An Extended First Look at 'Wednesday' Season 2, coming 6 August And finally, we got our first proper look at the highly anticipated second season of Wednesday. In fact, we got the first six minutes of the first episode, and the reveal that part 1 of the series will drop on 6 August, while part 2 will come on 3 September. Netflix really loves breaking their releases up, huh. In typical Wednesday fashion, she's taking her time tracking down her favourite childhood serial killer, relishing every minute of it. Somehow the killer is Haley Joel Osment, which actually makes it even better, and we now know Lady Gaga will be playing some role in the new season. We don't get much in the way of hints as to what season 2 will be about, but it's definitely going for a darker vibe.

Knives Out 3 trailer hints at possible victim in ‘Wake Up Dead Man' — Here's who might die
A Missing Presence Sparks Suspicion Returning to the Roots of the First Film Live Events Simone Vivane's Death Could Alter Series Dynamics Knives Out 3 Prepares for a Darker Turn FAQs What is Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery about? Why is Cailee Spaeny's character, Simone Vivane, important? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The recently released trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third installment in Rian Johnson's acclaimed whodunit series, has generated considerable intrigue, not for what it reveals, but for what it omits. With Daniel Craig returning as detective Benoit Blanc , speculation is already mounting about the identity of the central murder victim. And if early observations from the trailer are any indication, Cailee Spaeny's character, Simone Vivane, may be the one who meets a tragic fate, as mentioned in a report by Knives Out 3 trailer is deliberately sparse in plot details, instead leaning into gothic overtones and a moody atmosphere — a stark shift from the colorful, satirical tone of Glass Onion. But among the familiar faces and stylish shots, one major element appears absent: Cailee Spaeny's Simone the trailer confirms screen time for several key cast members — including Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and Daryl McCormack — Spaeny is notably absent. In fact, the only two cast members who do not visibly appear are Spaeny and Thomas Haden Church, raising questions about their roles in the plot's central on the trailer's structure, Wake Up Dead Man may follow a narrative format closer to the first Knives Out film than to its sequel. In the original movie, a large ensemble cast was introduced only for one character to be killed off early, setting the stage for a layered mystery. Similarly, Spaeny's absence from the promotional footage suggests that her character could be the victim whose death propels the story to this theory is the trailer's brief glimpse of a red-lit silhouette and a lone cellist — figures some speculate could be Simone. If that is indeed Spaeny's character, it could imply that her fate is sealed early in the film, making her the tragic centerpiece of the unfolding possible demise would mark a notable shift in the franchise's approach to its female characters. In the first Knives Out, Ana de Armas' Marta served as the emotional core and active participant in the investigation. Here, however, it seems Benoit Blanc may be partnered instead with Mila Kunis' character, police detective Geraldine Scott, indicating a more conventional law enforcement loss of a young, artistically gifted woman like Simone, especially in a setting hinted to involve religious imagery and potential supernatural elements — would bring emotional weight and thematic depth to Knives Out 3. A church, a possible priest figure, and discussions of miracles all hint at a more symbolic and perhaps morally layered murder than seen in past the mystery deepens, what's clear is that Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is preparing to offer a darker, more emotionally charged chapter in the Benoit Blanc saga. While Rian Johnson remains silent on plot specifics, the trailer's visual cues — and Simone Vivane's absence — are already prompting these early impressions are accurate, Cailee Spaeny's character may serve as the story's tragic catalyst, reinforcing the gothic tone and reaffirming the franchise's commitment to reinventing the murder mystery for a new plot details are under wraps, the trailer suggests a gothic murder mystery featuring Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc, with themes of loss, symbolism, and a darker emotional noticeable absence from the trailer has led to fan theories that she may be the murder victim whose death propels the plot, similar to the first Knives Out film.
