The British Film Institute (BFI) has revealed the plethora of titles that will make up the 69th edition of the BFI London Film Festival (8-19 October). There are a fulsome number of gala screenings, including the international premiere of Rian Johnson’s eagerly awaited new adventure for Southern sleuth Benoit Blanc in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which will open the festival, and – as the closing film – the UK premiere of Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero [+], the adaptation of the graphic novel fresh from its Venice premiere.
