Netflix spent a rumored $200 million on its new action comedy, making it the priciest film they’ve ever made. The streaming service recently announced that Red Notice will be released in November. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, aged 49, revealed the news on social media. Alongside him are Gal Gadot, aged 36, and Ryan Reynolds, aged 44, in this FBI-themed comedy directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.
Heads up! Netflix has announced the release date of Red Notice for November, and it was shared on social media by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, 49. The Rock excitedly posted on Twitter and Instagram with the message, ‘I’m officially serving you your notice,’ along with two siren emojis. He revealed that Netflix’s biggest movie ever, #REDNOTICE, will premiere globally in living rooms on November 12th. The Rock’s statement about it being Netflix’s ‘biggest movie ever’ is no exaggeration, as the film holds a reported budget of $200 million, making it their priciest production to date. Even back in 2019, it was reported that Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot were both set to earn close to $20 million each for their roles, with The Rock taking home ‘millions more’ as a star and producer, according to Variety.
Netflix put up a whopping $200 million to create their upcoming action comedy, marking it as their most costly film to date. Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, shared a photo of the film’s three lead actors with a caption that read, “The FBI’s top profiler. The world’s most wanted art thief. And the greatest conman the world has never seen.” He expressed his gratitude towards Netflix for their support and for taking on their biggest project yet. Johnson praised his friend and the creator of “Red Notice,” Rawson Thurber, and humorously thanked his talented yet “highly unattractive” co-stars Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds for joining him on their international heist adventure. This project not only marks a milestone as Netflix’s most expensive film but also represents a first for Johnson as it is his debut in a streaming-exclusive production. He emphasized his desire to create something grand and unforgettable for fans all around the world.
In 2019, it was revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot were set to pocket nearly $20 million each for their acting roles, while The Rock was expected to rake in even more money as both a star and producer, as reported by Variety.
Johnson’s caption of a photo of three famous actors teased an upcoming action film that promises an exciting chase between the FBI’s top profiler, an iconic art thief, and a master conman. Dwayne portrays an Interpol agent determined to capture the world’s most wanted art thief portrayed by Gal Gadot. As Interpol issues a red notice to capture her character, Ryan Reynolds enters the scene as a rival conman, set to make the chase even more thrilling.
Despite a brief halt in filming in 2020 due to the pandemic, the cast and crew were able to complete the project after a hiatus. Reynolds expressed his gratitude on Instagram to the hardworking team that made it possible to resume production. With a 10-month journey that faced uncertainties during the pandemic, the project of “Red Notice” was indeed a challenging but rewarding experience for all involved.
