Daniel Craig looks worlds away from James Bond in first look at new Knives Out film alongside A-list cast

DANIEL Craig has left the tuxedo of James Bond firmly behind as he steps back into the shoes of the eccentric detective Benoit Blanc.

Netflix has released the first official image from the highly anticipated third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, giving us a glimpse at Daniel’s latest outing as the Southern sleuth.

The image shows Benoit standing in a dimly lit church, deep in conversation with a new character played by Josh O’Connor.

Details about Josh’s role are scarce, but his presence next to Benoit in the solemn setting hints at the gravity of the mystery to come.

Netflix has remained tight-lipped about the film’s plot, only teasing that Blanc will once again find himself surrounded by a new cast of suspects as he unravels “his most dangerous case yet.”

The streamer has also hinted that the film’s mystery could be linked to the coffin that features prominently in the film’s teaser trailer.

Wake Up Dead Man boasts an all-star lineup, with the likes of Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Thomas Haden Church, and Jeremy Renner joining Craig and O’Connor.

Jeremy—who was only referenced in Glass Onion through a fictional hot sauce brand—will have a proper role this time around.

Following the success of 2019’s Knives Out and 2022’s Glass Onion, Rian Johnson has continued to build his modern whodunit franchise.

The director has spoken about how fortunate he has been to work with such talented stars, saying: “We’ve been very lucky with each of these movies to have gathered some of my favorite actors on the planet.”

The first Knives Out, released in 2019, introduced audiences to Benoit Blanc as he investigated the suspicious death of renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer).

The film was a commercial hit, and earned Rian an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Its sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, arrived in 2022 – transporting Benoit to a tech billionaire’s luxurious private island.

The eclectic new group of suspects included Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Dave Bautista, and Kate Hudson.

The film was another success, amusing viewers with its satirical portrayal of the ultra-wealthy.

Though Netflix has yet to confirm the exact release date for Wake Up Dead Man, the film is slated to hit the platform in 2025.

If it follows the pattern of Glass Onion, fans may see a limited theatrical release before its streaming debut, which is something that Daniel Craig himself has been advocating for.

Speaking to Variety, Daniel said: “The people I speak to — the fans, I suppose — all they want to do is take their families and go see it at the cinemas.”

A Place in the Sun airs ‘weirdest episode ever’ as house hunter DISAPPEARS midway through show with no explanation

FANS of A Place in the Sun believe they’ve witnessed one of the strangest mysteries in the history of the programme.

The episode was introduced by presenter Laura Hamilton from an idyllic looking Lazio region in Italy.

Laura explained that she was helping couple Mark and Patricia look for somewhere they could live but also potentially run as a B&B business.

The pair had both separately wanted to live in Italy and when they met, they realised they had a shared dream to live there.

Viewers were told the couple were engaged to be married and so didn’t want to waste any time in finding their forever home together.

Taxi driver Mark and dressmaker Patricia had a budget of £330,000 for their search and they were looking forward to running a business in Italy.

Patricia said: “We’d like to have a B&B it would be nice to meet and greet people and serve them because I’ve worked a lot in hospitality. I just like seeing people have fun.”

The search got off to a normal start with Mark talking about his Italian heritage and love of the local food. For Patricia she was looking forward to being a culture vulture.

Mark and Patricia saw a four bed detached house that was a contender followed by a grand seven bed complex, which the couple loved.

It’s at this point thing take a turn. As the show returned from it’s half way ad break the voiceover said that: “Unfortunately Mark is unable to carry on with the search but Patricia is carrying on on her own.”

The search continued with no real mention of the missing Mark or whether he would approve of the properties.

A recap voiceover reminded viewers again that Mark was “Unable to continue with filming” and that Patricia was now house hunting solo.

As Laura summed up the search she said: “Mark can’t be with us for this, but it’s all about you now.”

Patricia loved the final property, a stunning detached villa with a pool and she decided to put a cheeky bid in with the agent, again with no mention of her missing fiancé, but the offer was ultimately turned down.

Viewers were far more interested in what had happened to the couple’s plans and more importantly, to the other half of the couple himself.

One house hunting fan said on social media: “Why are they not even mentioning if Mark would like this property?”

Another added: “I can’t concentrate now as I want to know if Mark has disappeared forever.”

This started a chain of confused viewers with another saying: “I went out the room for a second and he’s gone.”

Dr Eddie Murphy reveals ‘core lesson’ people who suffer with anxiety need to learn for better life

40 DAY Health Challenge coach Dr Eddie Murphy has urged Irish people who suffer with anxiety to tackle their avoidances to help “grow their life”.

Associate Professor at the UCD School of Psychology, Dr Eddie, said it can massively limit a person’s life.

He said stepping outside of your comfort zone will help

He said: “In modern psychology, we’re really interested in what keeps problems going, and avoidance will always keep problems going.

“How many times have you avoided things? Is avoidance a pattern in the way you work?

“Avoidance will always keep the problem going. That’s a core lesson, a core point of view from psychology.

“So how do we tackle avoidance? Well, first of all, I’d love if you could videotape yourself on your phone.

“What do you avoid? Do you avoid people? Do you avoid situations?”

The clinical psychologist said people should “step outside” of their comfort zone.

He added: “By putting it into the record, you have it and you know what you’re avoiding, and these are the tools now to tackle that avoidance.

“See, avoidance, it reduces our anxiety when we get into avoidance.

“But it also limits our life.

“So I’m asking you to step outside your comfort zone to tackle your avoidance step by step, and you can put that on video for me because I’d like to hear you saying, ‘When I did this, my world grew bigger, I became more confident.’

“‘I was tackling my avoidances’.

“And I guarantee you this, and I guarantee very little in psychology, but your anxiety will come down when you get into that space and allow yourself into that space that you avoid.

“It will come down, use some deep breathing, nice tools. Say, ‘I can get through this’ in your head, tackle your avoidances and your life will grow.”

Brave 40 Day Health Challenge recruit Olivia Fitzgerald brought show viewers to tears when she opened up on an overlooked issue many people face.

The mum-of-four told Dr Eddie that her biggest challenge so far is facing others.

Olivia admitted: “I definitely think about what other people think about me.”

HOW TO WATCH THE EPISODES

THE latest episodes of the 40 Day Health Challenge are now available at the 40dayhealthchallenge.ie.

Readers can also follow all the action and get the latest updates, meal plans, exercises and mental health tips from Thesun.ie and Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio ­during the 40 days.

Dr Eddie discussed how the Limerick woman needs to have a kinder voice towards herself.

He explained: “So that’s called mind reading. You are trying to think what the other person’s thinking about me. And that’s an anxiety type behaviour.

“It’s a big feature of social anxiety. Sometimes, people in social situations are always trying to figure out what other people are thinking about them.”

Dr Eddie discussed how these thoughts can be an indicator of social anxiety – and how many people just ignore it.

Social anxiety affects nearly one in eight adults in Ireland, according to Social Anxiety Ireland.

He said: “It’s actually one of the most missed of all the anxiety presentations.

“There’s 13 per cent of people, a huge amount of people with social anxiety.

“There’s very good website called socialanxietyireland.com.

“Some people have very specific social anxiety say like giving a best man speech or something like that.”

Social anxiety was the last anxiety disorder to be discovered, which was only formally recognised in 1979.

It remains the least understood in terms of public and professional understanding.

Olivia admitted she sometimes had thoughts that she “wasn’t worth it” and hopes to “change that mind-set” during the 40 Day Health Challenge.

Dr Eddie said: “It’s so brave of you to put yourself forward for the 40 day health challenge when this is not your comfort zone.

“Everything you do here is outside your comfort zone, and that is total respect from us. Everything you do, all respectfulness.”

Arsenal face nightmare path to Champions League final as play-off draw leaves fate in the balance

ARSENAL face a potential nightmare journey to the Champions League following the play-off draw.

The Gunners qualified automatically from the league phase after finishing third behind Liverpool and Barcelona.

But they have been dealt a tough draw with Juventus potentially up next if the Italian side beat Lille.

Alternatively, Arsenal could play the winner of Feyenoord or AC Milan, depending on the draw for the Round of 16.

If they progress an even more difficult quarter-final clash will await.

That is because Arsenal have been picked out in the same side of the draw as Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.

They could face any of that trio or one of Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid or Celtic.

Liverpool or Barcelona could come next in the semi-final, so the Gunners face a massive challenge to get to Munich.

City have been tasked with the same nightmare run – only they face an game extra against Real Madrid in the play-off, with both juggernauts failing to finish in the top eight.

By contrast Liverpool have an easier set of fixtures up until the semi-final, with PSG and Borussia Dortmund among the difficult teams they could potentially face.

City’s horror draw means they face Arsenal, Real Madrid and Liverpool in the space of a few weeks next month.
