A new trailer for Red Notice starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot has arrived. Written and Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the big-budget action-comedy centers on an FBI agent (Johnson), who teams up with a master art thief (Reynolds) to track down the world's most-wanted art thief (Gadot). The film netted all three stars a lucrative payday, with Gadot pulling in $20 million for her part, making her the third-highest paid actress in Hollywood and making Red Notice one of Netflix's most expensive endeavors to date.
Dwayne Johnson is coming off the mega-hit Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt, while Reynolds is still reeling from the success of his late-summer smash Free Guy. Gadot was last seen in the divisive, but successful Wonder Woman 1984, which debuted in theaters and on HBO Max after multiple delays during the height of the pandemic. All three stars have a number of big projects on the way, with Red Notice being their big push for the fall movie season. Johnson has Black Adam, Reynolds has The Adam Project, and Gadot has the Agatha Christie project, Death on the Nile, all debuting in 2022.
Today, Netflix dropped a new trailer for Red Notice, which features a much more in-depth look at the action, comedy, and wild stunts, including a bull charging into Johnson and a rocket passing through a helicopter. The trailer gives a much better feel for the tone of the film as well, which has a more Indiana Jones-meets-True Lies vibe than anything, which is fitting given the cast involved. Red Notice drops on Netflix on November 12th. Check out the trailer below:
Director Rawson Marshall Thurber has made his way through the Hollywood ranks, quickly becoming a go-to filmmaker for high-profile projects. Thurber launched onto the scene with the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, and followed up with the hit comedy We're The Millers with Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. After working with Dwayne Johnson on both Central Intelligence and Skyscraper, the director is now venturing into even bigger territory with Red Notice. Thurber is next directing Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain in an adaptation of The Division.
Red Notice looks to be a solid action-adventure flick for the fall season and the cast is top of the line for this type of project. Johnson, Reynolds, and Gadot are at the top of their game at this point, and having them all in one place is a pure treat for fans. With the globe-trotting tone and comedic hijinks between the three, Red Notice has the potential to be not only an entertaining romp, but a franchise starter for Netflix, which the streamer continues to build momentum on.
