Shepka Productions have announced the UK release of the brutal, topical thriller, Dead Before They Wake. The feature will be available to rent or own on Digital Platforms in the UK from January 27th and is available to download in the US now.

Based on true events, the film follows nightclub bouncer Alex who is hired by a retired lawyer to track down a missing teenaged girl, suspected of being snared by a trafficking ring, and to bring her home no matter what it takes.

Dead Before They Wake stars Nathan Shepka (Lock & Load, The Baby in the Basket), Grace Cordell (Cara), Manjot Sumal (The Last Bus, hit BBC sitcom Scot Squad), Kareem Nasif (The Job). Also starring Dr Who legend Sylvester McCoy (The Hobbit trilogy, The Munsters) and Patrick Bergin (Sleeping With the Enemy, Patriot Games). The film features an original score by Academy Award winning composer Joseph Renzetti and is directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka.

Producer Nathan Shepka commented: “We wanted to base the film on real events and researched how UK sex trafficking gangs operate to give the film a grounded sense of reality. It is important to highlight what goes on every day and can often by ignored by the mainstream. We don’t feel any studio would have taken on the story in this way, it is likely to be a divisive and controversial portrayal. Ultimately there still has to be a pay-off for the audience; the film culminates in a brutal revenge-driven showdown.”

Dead Before They Wake is directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka. The film features an original score by Academy Award winning composer Joseph Renzetti and is produced by Nathan Shepka.

What happens in the Dead Before They Wake trailer?
The trailer highlights nightclub bouncer Alex (Nathan Shepka), who is approached by a mysterious man who offers him a large sum of money to help track down a missing girl, Bianca (Grace Cordell).

Dead Before They Wake is set to release on January 7, 2025, in the United States and will release a few weeks later, on January 27, 2025, in the United Kingdom.

“Alex dwells in a caravan by day and mans the door of a city club by night,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “One evening he is approached by the mysterious Evan, a retired lawyer who offers him £20,000 on behalf of a government official to track down a missing girl named Bianca. Alex’s search takes him into the underbelly of Glasgow where he comes across the suspicious Amar and Ghadir who appear to be running a shady criminal operation far beyond the confines of their commercial property. Will Alex manage to find the girl and get her back safely, leading to his own ultimate retribution? Can he take down a ruthless trafficking ring or has he endangered the lives of himself and those around him beyond positive outcome?”

Dead Before They Wake is co-directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka, from a script written by Shepka. The film stars Shepka, Cordell, Manjot Sumal, and Kareem Nasif with Sylvester McCoy and Patrick Bergin.

“We’re excited to bring this very dark and uncompromising thriller to US and UK audiences in January,” said Shepka in an exclusive quote to ComingSoon. “The film is actually based on the true story of the multiple UK sex trafficking rings that have been uncovered in the last decade. As well as shedding light on what goes on we hope that the film builds to deliver a satisfying conclusion that will both startle and entertain movie fans. We tried to hone in on a feeling of real dread with this one. Thanks to ComingSoon.net for being the first to bring the trailer to the world!”

Development
Before the release of Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson said he would like to create sequels with Benoit Blanc investigating further mysteries, and already had an idea for a new film.[3] On March 31, 2021, it was reported that Netflix bought the rights to two Knives Out sequels for over $400 million.[4]

Writing
In June 2022, Johnson revealed that Knives Out 3 was a working title with his intent being that each film has a distinct title, citing the works of Agatha Christie as his inspiration for the films and the individual titles.[5] In November 2022, Johnson said that he was preparing to work on writing the third film.[6] By January 2023, Johnson confirmed that he had started writing the script for the third film, stating that it will be tonally and thematically different from the previous installments.[7] Johnson later stated that though he had approved the subtitle of A Knives Out Mystery for the previous installment, he would like to rename the series and add A Benoit Blanc Mystery as subtitles to future installments.[8]

In October 2023, following the resolution of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, Johnson announced that he had started working on the script for the third movie. The filmmaker stated that he had the premise planned, and could begin writing again.[9]

Casting
Daniel Craig was expected to reprise his role early in development; he acknowledged interest in returning early on during the project's development.[10] Craig was paid $100 million for his involvement in the two Knives Out sequels.[11] In May 2024, Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis, and Daryl McCormack joined the main cast.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The following month, Josh Brolin and Thomas Haden Church joined the cast.[19][20]

Filming
As with the previous two films, Steve Yedlin and Nathan Johnson returned as cinematographer and composer, respectively.[21][22] Principal photography began on June 10, 2024, in London.[12][23][24][25] On June 19, 2024, Close revealed that she was "really hit hard" with both COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which was also revealed to have resulted in her being able to only participate in two days of filming by that point in time.[26][27] Filming wrapped on August 17.[28]

Release
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is scheduled to be released on Netflix in 2025.[29][30]

Future
In September 2022, Johnson confirmed his intention to make more films in the series.[31] Later that month, Craig and Johnson separately said that they would continue making further films, as long as they were both involved.[32]

When they are rescued water by a fishing trawler Kaya and Tessa are relieved as Xander was struck in the head by a jet ski. The rescue turns out to be a trap as Captain Rey and Doctor Hunt are traffickers looking to sell the organs of the injured Tessa and Xander on the black market along with Kaya as slave.

After Xander's organs are harvested and Tessa taken, Kaya escapes and kills Hunt before he can harvest Tessa's organs and she leaves Tessa drifting at sea with a life preserver while she contacts the Coast Guard as Captain Rey hunts her on board the boat.
