Netflix is the latest studio to succumb to the impact of the coronavirus. The streaming service is currently looking for a new location to film Dwayne Johnson's Red Notice after Italy, its original filming set, reported a high number of coronavirus cases.
According to Deadline, the film has not yet started filming and most of production will take place in Atlanta. However, Netflix is weighing different options for what to do regarding the Italian portion of the shoot.
Originally being distributed by Universal after defeating the streaming giant in a bidding war, Netflix acquired the rights to the film in July 2019. The film is a global heist movie with an all-star cast, including Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.
Red Notice is the latest project to postpone or cancel due to the coronavirus. The disease has impacted Superman: Red Son, Mission Impossible 7 and The Amazing Race, while theaters in China have closed down, preventing Sonic the Hedgehog and Mulan from opening.
Directed and written by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Red Notice stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya and Chris Diamantopoulos. The film does not yet have a release date.
