The new film with Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson may be the most expensive in the history of cinema. Many actors slow their pace by the age of 47, but this is not at all about Dwayne Johnson, who is called the Rock. He is the star of Hollywood action movies, and his body inspires many people around the world to work on themselves. Every second teenager’s room has a poster with Johnson’s image. And almost every guy dreams of having the same big biceps. The power of Duane is felt in his fees, Hollywood has not seen such a long time.
For example, Julia Roberts was on the list of the highest paid actresses with a fee of $ 25 million for his role in the film "Mona Lisa's Smile". This record is beaten by Dwayne, because his income is $ 28 million for his role in the film. And for his last picture, “Red Notification,” the actor receives $ 31 million, and this figure is indicated excluding box office. Not every actor can boast of such numbers. Today, Duane’s popularity goes beyond all bounds, and there’s no end to offers of filming a movie.
Filming
Johnson acts as a film producer through his own company, Seven Bucks. Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, famous for the roles of Deadpool and Wonder Woman, will also take part in the filming. Actors are not used to working together. Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson worked together on the Fast and the Furious franchise. The actress had a chance to work with Ryan Reynolds in the thriller The Outlaw. Johnson's new film will be about the greatest and most virtuosic thieves the world has ever known. Such a golden cast already attracts a lot of attention to the film. Critics are confident that the box office will meet all expectations.
War of offers
The film was originally supposed to be released under the auspices of Universal in 2020. But not without persistent bidding, which ended in favor of the Netflix channel, and the budget of the picture amounted to 187.7 million dollars. Of this amount, 31 million relies on Johnson. The actor notes that he is very delighted with Netflix's desire to become one of the largest film studios in the world. He is confident that under the auspices of the company, a film about three ingenious thieves will appear on cinema screens in the best possible way.
The actor notes that their original content has earned recognition from critics around the world and this is impressive. Netflix's endless enthusiasm for the Red Notice inspired Johnson. However, many Hollywood stars do not share the views of Duane. Steven Spielberg is confident that Netflix films cannot be nominated for an Oscar. The negative attitude about the work of Netflix is not entirely clear, because with their films and series they have long gained popularity around the world.
Century deal
For Johnson, this project is beneficial in all respects. As for any profit from the film, Dwayne has 30%, while director Terber will receive only 10%. The film industry has not heard such numbers since the peak of popularity of Will Smith, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
The payment of such amounts is due to the fact that today films in the genre of action or thriller are very popular. The release of the film is tentatively for 2020, but we are sure that before this time we will see the famous trinity on the screens of movie theaters more than once.
