Netflix has officially given notice with a trailer for the star studded film Red Notice. A star studded ride across the world, Red Notice features modern Hollywood action royalty in an exciting, comedic chase across the globe, with a target on the back of the greatest art thief in the world.
Netflix has been “all in” on original productions for years now. Their slate for 2021 though has shown unparalleled ambition by having a new release out every week of this year. The crown jewel of which is, undoubtedly, RED NOTICE.
Gal Gadot (upcomimg Red Notice) is readying Heart Of Stone, billed as an original spy endeavor in the vein of the 007 and Mission Impossible franchise. Currently in the works at Skydance Media, Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Oscar-nominated Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures) are penning the script with film will be produced by Skydance Media’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger producing along with Gadot and her Pilot Wave producing partner Jaron Varsano, Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn. Gadot will bow this Christmas Day in select theaters and IMAX, and for HBO Max’s first 4K outing for Wonder Woman 1984.
A little over a year since its originally-planned release last December, it appears that Warner Bros. Pictures is done kicking the can down the road further and has resigned to a releasing the long-awaited Wonder Woman 1984 simultaneously in 3D/2D/IMAX theaters and via HBO Max.
It’s been a big weekend at 2019 Comic Con Experience in São Paulo for upcoming studio blockbusters. Warner Bros. Pictures is definitely on the roster as well with the June 5, 2020 release of Wonder Woman 1984 and thus, we now have the first official trailer bringing fans face-to-face with actress Gal Gadot returning as the Amazonian superheroine.
The filmmakers behind upcoming action film production, Red Notice, have landed the project a new home at Netflix according to a Deadline exclusive on Monday. Universal Pictures originally acquired the film in an intense bidding war late last year before dating it for release next November.
Warner Bros. Pictures has undergone a bit of a facelift behind the scenes in the last several months following recent questionable results with its DCEU films. Thankfully all else continues with Patty Jenkins moving forward with the production of Wonder Woman 2 just as Gal Gadot rejoins actor Chris Pine from the original film and which may take some explaining for fans otherwise not knowing of the source material. I’m sure not so… color me intrigued, pictures and deets below notwithstanding (click for larger viewing).
BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing an all-new foe: The Cheetah. Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros.

Gal Gadot is officially set to star in Red Notice for Universal Pictures. The film, which granted the studio its acquisition following a robust auction earlier this year will reunite the actress with actor Dwayne Johnson with whom she appeared in both Fast Five in 2011, and Furious 6 in 2013.
The film also reconvenes Johnson with Central Intelligence helmer Rawson Marshall Thurber who also directed Johnson’s next, Skyscraper. According to Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., Thurber reportedly flew less than 30 hours to London to personally pitch the film to Gadot who is currently production on the hotly-anticipated Wonder Woman sequel.
Story details aren’t public yet but the globe-trotting heist action comedy is slated to commence production next year in April with another male star attached. A June 12, 2020 release is set for the film which stands as one of several projects of late that Johnson has been a hot ticket item on along with next year’s releases Stephen Merchant-directed wrestling biopic, Fighting With My Family (March 2), and with David Leitch’s Fast spin-off with Jason Statham (August 2).
Johnson is currently shooting Jungle Cruise from director Jaume Collet-Serra for Walt Disney Pictures. Gadot’s Wonder Woman 2 opens for Warner Bros. Pictures on November 1, 2019.
With Marvel continuing to break records with its slate, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are towing things a bit carefully as they play catch-up with their comic book film schedule. Wonder Woman was an unquestionably significant step forward for the studio both commerically as well as critically and socially for fans proving to be a worthy shepherdess for female empowerment in cinema.
Production is now months away from filming its sequel which will be set in a modern period following the World War II backdrop of the first film that ultimately pit actress Gal Gadot in the title role against Ares. For this, Deadline has it on good terms that SNL veteran, actress and comedian Kristen Wiig (Ghostbusters, Zoolander 2) is up to play the villainess role of Cheetah for Patty Jenkins’ return to the helm ahead of its Novemeber 1, 2019 release.
According to comic book lore, there are two female versions known in Marv Wolfman’s Crisis On Infinite Earths series in 1985, and a male AND female version post-Crisis. That’s four different incarnations in total, and while we can probably rule out at least one, we still need details on what the film’s plot will observe. This ought to make things interesting.
Further casting remains pending. Stay tuned!
Things got worse last March when Snyder had to leave the project entirely due to the tragic suicide of his daughter – something that more than a few fanboys treated like poetic justice for making a comic book movie they didn’t like. Snyder’s replacement for the (extensive) reshoots and post-production couldn’t have been more different from him; Avengers director Joss Whedon. It wasn’t until the release of Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman that the tide started to turn in Justice League’s favor. WW was a terrific, optimistic film that somehow managed to balance the stylistic throughline of Snyder’s films while avoiding the bleakness that made those films harder to enjoy. Now is the moment of truth. Now we all get to see for ourselves if a film whose genesis was this tumultuous can actually be any good.
I can only wonder what Gadot will play in all this next to the actor to be announced per the logline above.
Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have been hitting hard and heavy in the days leading up to this weekend’s New York Comic Con for Justice League. Hailing from director with extinuating work by Joss Whedon in recent months, time will tell if all those rumored reshoots made a difference when the film opens next month.
It was likely a matter of time following last month’s update regarding Patty Jenkins’s stirring talks to return to the helm for Wonder Woman 2. That said, it looks as if the deal has officially been sealed for Patty Jenkins to direct the sequel which opens on December 13, 2019.
Wonder Woman opened to critical and box office acclaim in the months that followed its June 2 release, topping $410 million dollars domestically within its global gross of $813 million dollars. Its initial weekend opening garnered it as the largest female-lead superhero movie opening of all time, as well as the biggest opening in June for a superhero movie, and the biggest opening in June for a Warner Bros. film. It earned $100.5 million at the top of its release making it the highest opening weekend box office of all time for a female director.
Variety reports that Jenkins’s return could ver well mean an $8 million dollar pay package to to write, direct and produce, in addition to receiving a substantial back end of box office earnings, which would make her the highest paid female director of all time.
Production details remain pending while actress Gal Gadot is expected to reprise the title role for the fourth time in Warner Bros.’s current expansion of the DC cinematic universe which began with actor Henry Cavill’s 2013 headliner, Man Of Steel, from director Zack Snyder. Gadot and Cavill will reunite once more following Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice in Snyder’s Justice League this November.

Just as fans have hoped, it became clearer on Thursday evening that filmmaker Patty Jenkins was more than qualified to return to the director’s chair for the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel. With payday kinks still being worked on, reports finally came in more than two and a half months after the film’s principal release that the acclaimed Monster helmer was in final talks to return for the second film reprising actress Gal Gadot in the title role once more.
The first film was a long-awaited feat after years of having the character presented in comic book pages by creator William Moulton Marston, as well as on television and other media and merchandise. Written by Allan Heinberg and hailed with a powerful score by Rupert Gregson-Williams, the movie follows Gadot’s portrayal from her debut in last year’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, exploring the primary tale of young, ambitious Diana whose idyllic life on the interdimensional Amazonian island of Themyscira is challenged with the looming threat of World War II in association with the hidden auspices of the pious evil known as Ares.
Wonder Woman went on to reach several ‘bests and other milestones, including for its director; Apart from earning a global gross of more than $797 million dollars to date with Japan markets still in tow, the film managed to rake in a domestic total of $400 million dollars earlier this month, making it the highest earning film of the summer and marking it as the third-highest grossing Warner Bros. Pictures film ever, as well as the third to ever surpass $400 million.
“When ‘Wonder Woman’ opened to such a terrific number in June, we thought, ‘This is truly a moment’—for the film, for our industry, for director Patty Jenkins and, of course, for Gal Gadot.” said Sue Kroll, President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. “Now, more than two months later, ‘Wonder Woman’ has become a phenomenon, the must-see movie of the summer. Audiences have embraced this character and her story in such a spectacular fashion, and we couldn’t be happier for everyone involved in bringing this incredible property to life and to cinemas across the country.”
Gadot will return along with the warrioresses of Themyscira and a line-up of tentpole superheroes for Justice League on November 17, 2018 before succeeding with Wonder Woman 2 on December 13, 2019. (Deadline)
Disputes over the facts regarding title actress Gal Gadot’s pay aside, the past century has been a sausage fest of male-led superhero films in live-action form and Wonder Woman is only just now able to rightfully claim her spotlight in a growing film universe. The film is still running in theaters and pre-orders are up for all the various Blu-Rays and combo packs and so on.
Notwithstanding the qustions regarding the lax markering of Warner Bros.’s latest DCU outing, Wonder Woman, I’d say the studio is doing a fine job of letting everyone else do their work – inadvertantly or other. Apart from that, we now have a final trailer airing online as of late Sunday…I was in bed and frankly I don’t know what the deal is with these late evening trailers.
Ah well, at any rate the latest trailer invites fans to catch Gal Gadot in the title role opposite Spanish actress Elena Anaya debuting DC villainess, Doctor Poison. Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Danny Huston also star with Patty Jenkins at the helm, lending a bit more to the plot than some of the regular fish-out-of-water comedy bits like Gal fashioning some kick-friendly threads and trying to maneuver around town with a sword in her hand and so on… yeah I’m already sold but hopefully the timing will bode well for the film itself ahead of its June 2 release.
The studio still has a lot to accomplish in matching the pacing and output of Marvel’s big screen titles and after the critical blunder that Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Suicide Squad took last year despite the millions both rolled in, it’s clear that the wiggle room to fumble at WB is decreasing a bit. Gadot has pretty much earned her place in action stardom with this one after starring in three Fast And Furious films for Universal, but this one still needs to be a commercial hit, as well as critical. Stay the course as they may, but there’s work to be done.
Check out the trailer below!
Not to be outdone this week by Charlize Theron’s vicious decor in the world of espionage is one other stake in female-centric thrills with actress Gal Gadot headlining. Thus, after not one, not two but three teaser annoucements on Friday, a brand new trailer for Wonder Woman arrived online ahead of its June 2 theatrical release from Warner Bros. Pictures.
If there were ever a better time for the longstanding DC comic book legend, Wonder Woman, that time has come. Sure, it’s taken decades for the character to see anything other than TV and animated properties like her other male counterparts, though the market these days is reportedly tons more profitable for film now, and I’d bet that director Patty Jenkins couldn’t be more pleased.
The first teaser trailer shined over the summer amid Comic Con fevor and at least one international spot circulated. On Thursday, Warner Bros. Pictures threw the signal once more for fans to revel in actress Gal Gadot’s latest iteration of the cinematic superheroine following this year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
