Mila Kunis opens up about working with Daniel Craig

Actress Mila Kunis has spoken openly about her collaboration with her co-star Daniel Craig in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

At the Toronto International Film Festival, she recalled how Craig and director Rian Johnson fostered an environment where actors prioritized mutual respect.

Kunis admitted she was unsure how to "solve Craig’s mystery" at first. She confessed that working on this film felt a bit unfamiliar to her, although she "had the pleasure of working with Craig’s wife," Rachel Weisz, in Oz the Great and Powerful (2013).

Kunis (42) said she felt at ease, knowing that Weisz (55) is “such a wonderful person” that she thought, “there’s no way Daniel wouldn’t be a wonderful person to work with.”

Her theory was put to the test on “day one,” as her first two weeks on Wake Up Dead Man were with Craig (57), and “her character is very connected to his,” detective Benoit Blanc.

“This could go either way,” Kunis recalled. “This could be a really amazing production or we’ll be in our bubbles, and everything will be fine.”

“But luckily, I’d say within the first two hours, Daniel set the best tone — not just for the cast, but for the whole crew,” said Kunis in the People/EW and Shutterstock studio.

The former James Bond actor, during the film’s world premiere at TIFF on Saturday, reflected on Johnson’s third mystery film, speaking enthusiastically about his role in particular: “How lucky am I to get to play something like this?”

Asked whether Wake Up Dead Man marks the end of his portrayal of the iconic character, Daniel Craig said he doesn’t know for now, but “if Rian (51) writes another script and it’s as good as he thinks it might be, then I’ll make that decision easily.”

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is set to hit cinemas on November 26.
