Warning: Spoilers are discussed during the interview

With Red Notice now streaming and breaking records on Netflix, I recently spoke to writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber about the making of the massive film. As you’ve seen in the trailers, Red Notice is about one of the top FBI profilers, John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson), forced to team with the "world's second most famous art thief," Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) to track down the world's most famous art thief, Sarah Black (Gal Gadot), aka "The Bishop." The film also stars Chris Diamantopoulos, Ritu Arya, and Vincenzo Amato and was produced by Johnson, Beau Flynn, Dany and Hiram Garcia, and Scott Sheldon.

During the wide-ranging interview, Rawson Marshall Thurber talked about the Red Notice MacGuffin involving Cleopatra’s eggs, how people in pitch meetings thought they were real, the way he altered the script once Gal Gadot signed on, his first cut, why the film doesn’t have many deleted scenes, how the original ending showed what they were going to steal at the Louvre in Paris, how they got permission to show Reynolds whistling the Indiana Jones theme in the 3rd act, crafting the huge mine chase sequence, and a lot more. If you enjoyed Red Notice and are curious how the film was made, you’ll learn a lot watching this interview.

In addition, with Thurber attached to The Division movie at Netflix, he talked about how he’s aiming to make it his next project and why he thinks it can be a cool movie. It’s from 2:05-4:20 in the player above. If you’re not familiar with the game, the movie is being described as a post-apocalyptic action-thriller set in a future where a virus is spread via paper money on Black Friday, decimating the city of New York. By Christmas, what’s left of society has descended into chaos. A group of civilians, trained to operate in catastrophic times, are activated to save who and what remains. Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain are attached to both star and produce.
