Development

On February 8, 2018, it was an action comedy from Dwayne Johnson and writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber and Legendary Entertainment was developed as part of a bidding war consisting of major studios fighting for the rights. Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures were all considered. The film would be produced by Beau Flynn through his Flynn Picture Company, with Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia through their Seven Bucks Productions banner, along with Thurber's Bad Version Inc. with Wendy Jacobson executive producing.[6] On February 9, 2018, it was announced that Universal and Legendary won the bidding war in order to land the rights.

Johnson was confirmed to be paid at least $20 million for the first time for this film.[7] It was later revealed that Gal Gadot also made $20 million for her role in the film, making her the third highest-paid actress in the world in 2020.[8]

Gadot was confirmed to join Johnson on June 11, 2018.[9] Ryan Reynolds was added on July 8, 2019.[2] Ritu Arya and Chris Diamantopoulos were added on February 10, 2020.[10]

Filming

Principal photography began on January 3, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.[11][12] Production on the film was previously expected to start in April 2019 after Johnson wrapped production on Jumanji: The Next Level.[13] On July 8, 2019, filming was delayed to begin in early 2020.[2] A planned shoot in Italy was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.[14] On March 14, it was announced production was halted indefinitely due to the pandemic.[15]

Filming resumed on September 14, 2020.[16][17] Gadot and Reynolds finished filming their parts by the end of October.[18] Production in Atlanta was completed on November 14, before moving to Rome and Sardinia, Italy for a week of shooting.[19] Filming in Italy was completed on November 18.[20] With an estimated production budget of $160 million (Variety reported it could be as high as $200 million), the film is the most-costly in Netflix's history.[1]

Visual effects artist Richard R. Hoover served as the overall visual effects supervisor for the film.[21]

Music

On February 26, 2020, Steve Jablonsky was announced as the composer for Red Notice. Jablonsky previously collaborated with director Rawson Marshall Thurber scoring Skyscraper in 2018.[22]

Release

Universal originally scheduled the film for release on June 12, 2020.[23] The date was postponed by five months to November 13, 2020.[24] Netflix then took over on July 8, 2019,[2] with a new release year of 2021.[3]
