The Toronto International Film Festival has added a high-profile slate of premieres to its 50th-anniversary edition, headlined by the world debut of “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” The third instalment in Rian Johnson’s whodunit series will screen in the Special Presentations section before reaching Netflix on 12 December. Daniel Craig returns as detective Benoit Blanc, leading an ensemble that includes Josh Brolin, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington and Andrew Scott. The first two films in the franchise, “Knives Out” (2019) and “Glass Onion” (2022), also launched at TIFF, making the festival a recurring platform for Johnson’s murder-mystery universe. “Wake Up Dead Man” joins newly revealed titles such as Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet,” Derek Cianfrance’s “Roofman,” Paul Greengrass’s “The Lost Bus,” Nicholas Hytner’s “The Choral” and HIKARI’s “Rental Family.” Additional additions span works from Agnieszka Holland, Neeraj Ghaywan, Rebecca Zlotowski, Peter Ho-Sun Chan and Clement Virgo. TIFF Chief Programming Officer Anita Lee said the selections reflect “a sweeping range of voices and styles” as the festival prepares to run from 4 to 14 September, opening with Colin Hanks’s John Candy documentary “I Like Me.”
