    Director Rawson Marshall Thurber and the filming crew were forced to get creative in shooting the Netflix movie’s racing sequence after finding out the ‘Jumanji’ star was too big for the sports car.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dwayne Johnson left director Rawson Thurber sweating on the set of upcoming movie “Red Notice” after becoming stuck in a pricey Porsche – shipped in just for the shoot.
    The former wrestler-turned-Hollywood action man shared the funny story on Instagram, revealing they had to rework the whole racing sequence at the last minute because the actor, nicknamed The Rock, was simply too big for the small car.
    “Aaaaand guess who’s too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around (sic)…,” he captioned a photo of the pair on set, alongside the Porsche Taycan electric midsize sport sedan.
    “For our @netflix globe trotting heist movie, RED NOTICE, my writer/director @rawsonthurber… wrote this INSANE chase sequence where I hop in this iconic Porsche and be the bad a** behind the wheel that I am.”
    “Well, after months of prep and costs… buying and shipping this car over to the states (sic) – it’s time to rehearse the big chase sequence.”
    Johnson goes on to detail the conversation he and Thurber shared at the time of the stressful discovery, recalling how he got stuck climbing into the car as his back is “a bit too wide.”

    “DJ continues to struggle trying to shimmy into this Porsche like a big a** brown marshmallow getting shoved into a coin slot,” he wrote, in third person.

    When Thurber realized they had a big problem, he “nervously” laughed and asked, “Wait can you fit…? Are you f**king with me…? Oh my God.”
    Johnson continued, “After about 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence… Rawson, myself and the entire crew just started laughing our a**es off!! F**k it. Welcome to 2020.”
    They managed to find ” ‘creative’ ways to still get the shot,” and Thurber admitted the nerve-wracking moment is now one of his personal highlights from the making of the movie.
    Commenting on the post, he wrote, “100 (per cent) true and still one of my favorite moments on this entire shoot. But we’ve all been there, right? #BackAsWideAsACoffeeTable.”
    “Red Notice”, which officially wrapped production this week (begins November 16), also stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, and is set for release next year (21).

      Dwayne Johnson Returns to Film 'Red Notice' After Battle With COVID-19

      The ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ star revealed in early September that he, his wife and their two young daughters all tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
      Sep 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has returned to work on “Red Notice” after battling COVID-19 over the summer.
      The action man’s brother-in-law and producing partner Hiram Garcia insists the star is in good health as he resumes work on the Netflix production.
      “It’s been an incredible process and undertaking to get a production up-and-running,” he tells Variety. “Netflix has had the attitude that whatever it will take to keep things safe for the crew, they are 100 per cent behind.”
      Johnson revealed earlier this month that himself, his wife and daughters Jasmine, four, and Tiana, two, all tested positive for the coronavirus.
      “Testing positive for COVID-19 is a lot different than recovering from nasty injuries, getting evicted or being broke, which I’ve been more than a few times,” the movie star said. “I wish it was only me that tested positive. It was my entire family and it was a kick in the gut. We are good, we’re on the other end of it and no longer contagious. Thank God, we’re healthy.”

      Johnson’s “Red Notice” co-star Ryan Reynolds documented his return to the film over the weekend, taking to Instagram to document the coronavirus testing process on set.

      The Netflix movie is the latest projects following Robert Pattinson’s ‘The Batman’ and Chris Pratt’s ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ to have its production shut down amid the global uncertainty.
      Mar 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Production on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s new heist movie with Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds has been postponed to allow cast and crew members to put their families first during the coronavirus crisis.
      The “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” star took to Instagram on Saturday, March 14 to share video footage of himself addressing his colleagues on the set of action thriller “Red Notice”, as he announced the Netflix project would be temporarily put on hold for two weeks from Monday.
      In the clip, he said, “I really appreciate all your hard work and your patience during this time, but my number one goal for you guys, and it’s our number one goal too, is that we’re going to get everyone home to their families.”
      “This (filming) is the kind of stuff that can wait; the most important thing is to take care of our families.”
      Johnson wrote in the accompanying caption: “Gotta protect our babies, spouses, loved ones and elderly.”
      “We’ll continue to monitor and assess this situation closely to make the best decisions for our families first and then our businesses.”
      Sharing a message of confidence amid growing coronavirus concerns, he added, “We’re a resilient nation who ultimately, will always rise to the occasion to be accountable and work together to overcome whatever hardship lies in front of us. Our country will do its job, as the rest of the world will do theirs.”
      “Everyone please stay healthy, vigilant, safe and let’s protect one another. We’re all in this – together.”

      “Red Notice” is one of a number of Netflix productions paused amid the global uncertainty, which has prompted studio officials industry-wide to shut down shoots.
      The latest wave of projects affected include Robert Pattinson’s “The Batman” and Chris Pratt’s “Jurassic World: Dominion”, while TV cameras have also stopped rolling on “Empire”, “Pose”, “Supernatural”, and “Power” spin-offs “Power Book II: Ghost” and “Power Book III: Raising Kanan”, according to Deadline.
      Production on news shows “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” is also being suspended, along with shoots on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” and daytime series “The Talk”.
