The Red Notice of the film’s title refers to the most serious of the notices that the agency can issue. Several studios were involved last week in an auction for a film called Red Notice, that’s going to see The Rock playing an INTERPOL employee. Universal has had to break out its checkbook for the next big Dwayne Johnson action movie.
“ humbled and grateful to begin this once in a lifetime journey,” he posted, adding: “From the day I began my Hollywood career, my dream was to bring this legacy to life.” The film is due to begin shooting in 2020. The King is something of a passion project for Johnson, who spent some of his teenage years living in Hawaii. The Rock announced the project via Instagram, revealing that the film–which has been described as a “sweeping historial epic”–will be written by Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace. Johnson is teaming up with director Robert Zemeckis ( Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) to bring the story of King Kamehameha–the first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii who fought to unite its warring islands–to the big screen. Filming has already wrapped, in plenty of time for the delayed Jrelease, and if Johnson and Blunt’s onscreen chemistry is anything like it is in the production announcement video below, expect this to be massive. Johnson plays a riverboat captain who takes a scientist (played by Mary Poppins herself, Emily Blunt) and her brother (comedian Jack Whitehall) on a dangerous jungle mission to find a mythical tree with healing powers. The movie will be a period piece set during the Great Depression, and apparently takes inspiration from Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn’s The African Queen. 13 2019 release.įollowing in the footsteps of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney are turning Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise theme park ride into a big-screen blockbuster, directed by The Shallows helmer Jaume Collet-Serra. Filming starts in January 2019 for a Dec. It’s no surprise, then, that a sequel has been fast-tracked into production. Johnson’s co-stars Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black are all returning for the second adventure along with director Jake Kasdan, while Ocean’s Eight star Awkwafina and the invaluable Danny DeVito are joining the cast in “key” roles. Thanks in no small part to the Rock’s towering onscreen charisma, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle became an unexpected mega-hit back in 2017, grossing over $962 million worldwide. The film will be in theaters on July 26, 2019. Johnson continues his onscreen bromance with Jason Statham in this upcoming Fast & Furious spin-off, which will see tough-talking Diplomatic Security Service agent, Luke Hobbs (Johnson), and baddie turned sort-of goodie Deckard Shaw (Statham) teaming up to take down Idris Elba‘s villain–a criminal mastermind known as “Brixton.” As The Rock revealed on his popular Instagram feed, The Crown‘s Vanessa Kirby will be getting in on the action as an MI6 agent who also happens to be Shaw’s sister. Filming took place around the UK and wrapped late last year, with David Leitch ( John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2) on directing duties.
