If you’re a fan of both the Knives Out films and ’80s pop (or internet pranks), prepare for your two interests to come together in an unexpected way: a scene in the franchise’s most recent volume, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, was filmed in the same space as the video for Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” — a fact confirmed by director Rian Johnson.
In the film, young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) meets with his superiors in a church gymnasium. But in real life, the space is not a church — it’s London’s Harrow Club, a youth club that can be rented out by the general public for events like film shoots … or music video shoots. Almost 40 years earlier, Rick Astley sang and danced in front of the same iconic windows in his video for “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
