Daniel Craig and Andrew Scott Shine in 'Glorious' Knives Out Sequel: Rotten Tomatoes Scores Perfect 100%!

SHOCKING! Daniel Craig's Knives Out Return Hailed a Masterpiece, But What's Really Going On Behind Closed Doors?

The highly anticipated third installment of Rian Johnson's Knives Out franchise, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, has just landed a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its release. And, let us tell you, it's been worth the wait! With Daniel Craig reprising his role as the enigmatic detective Benoit Blanc in a chilling murder mystery set in a somber church, fans are eagerly anticipating what's to come.

But, while we're getting lost in the world of whodunnits and twists, there's another story unfolding that's got everyone talking. It seems Daniel Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz have been at loggerheads with conservationists over installing new security measures at their £5m north London home. And, after months of controversy, it looks like they've finally gotten the green light.

The plan? To install an inward-opening vehicle entrance gate and a side pedestrian gate, using existing brick piers. Sounds simple enough, right? But not according to some of their neighbors, who claim that this will ruin the character of the Grade II-listed terraced house. The conservationists have been vocal about their objections, even going so far as to say that the plan is "not appropriate" for the property.

But, it seems, their concerns fell on deaf ears. After a heated debate with council bosses, Craig and Weisz have finally gotten the nod to go ahead with their plans. And we can't help but wonder - what's really behind this sudden change of heart?

Could it be that the A-lister couple are tired of being in the public eye? With paparazzi always lurking around every corner, perhaps they're just trying to find a way to keep the intruders at bay. After all, we've seen it happen before - when celebrities start installing high-security measures, it's usually because they're worried about more than just burglars.

Joining Craig and Andrew on screen are Glenn Close, Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis  Josh Brolin, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church

But, let's get back to the real star of the show: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery! With a glittering cast that includes Andrew Scott, Glenn Close, Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis, Josh Brolin, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church (and even Jeremy Renner making a return in a more central role), this is one movie event you won't want to miss.

And, according to early critics' reviews, it's going to be a wild ride. Collider declared: 'Wake Up Dead Man is twistier, darker and more emotional than the previous two installments, in which Johnson explores ideas of faith and logic and the mythologising that gets us through the day - all in a brilliant murder mystery.'

Punch Drunk Critics agreed, calling it 'the most intricate mystery of them all, grappling with issues of faith, redemption, revenge and forgiveness.' Meanwhile, The Wrap branded the film a 'glorious, goofy gothic horror.'

They added: 'Although Wake Up Dead Man is the Knives Out movie that's most preoccupied with existential questions surrounding death, writer and director Rian Johnson's third film in the series is also the one that's most full of life.' Talk about a paradox!

The international premiere will take place at the BFI London Film Festival this October, where it'll have a gala screening at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall. And, with its release set for select cinemas on November 28th and Netflix on December 12th, we can barely contain our excitement.

But, as we count down to the big day, let's not forget what's really going on behind closed doors. With Craig and Weisz's security saga still unfolding, it's anyone's guess what the future holds for this A-lister couple. Stay tuned, folks - it's about to get a whole lot juicier!
