It is unknown when the shoot was going to end, though the film had yet to be given a release date since going into production.
Johnson reteams with his “Skyscraper” and “Central Intelligence” writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber for “Red Notice.” He plays an Interpol agent tasked with capturing the most-wanted art thief in the world.
The film will be produced by the returning “Skyscraper” team, including Beau Flynn for his Flynn Picture Co.; Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia for their Seven Bucks Productions; and Thurber for his Bad Version, Inc. Scott Sheldon serves as executive producer.
