In an upstate New York parish, a priest is found dead in a locked room, and the weapon is a knife fashioned from the red devil's-head finial of a lamp. The local police chief, Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, summons Benoit Blanc. Rian Johnson wrote and directed Wake Up Dead Man (2025), and he surrounds Daniel Craig's Southern-accented detective with a parish's worth of suspects.
Josh O'Connor is Father Jud Duplenticy, a young priest who used to box and who left the ring after killing a man in a match. Josh Brolin is Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, the parish's charismatic firebrand. Glenn Close plays Martha Delacroix, a devout church lady and Wicks' right hand; Jeremy Renner is a town doctor drinking his way through a divorce; Kerry Washington a tightly wound lawyer; Andrew Scott a formerly bestselling author trying to get his career back; Cailee Spaeny a disabled former concert cellist hoping for a miracle cure.
The watch question was settled weeks before the film reached theaters. When the first poster landed, watch enthusiasts went to work on the piece visible on Craig's wrist, and Omega ended the guessing itself, confirming the watch as the De Ville Trésor 40mm in stainless steel: a curved midnight-blue dial, hands and applied hour markers in 18-karat white gold, and a small date window at six o'clock. Inside sits the hand-wound calibre 8910, a METAS-certified Master Chronometer that runs about three days on a full wind and resists magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Wake Up Dead Man premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025, reached theaters in November, and landed on Netflix in December.
