‘Red One’: Article EXPOSES Dwayne Johnson’s lack of professionalism, who was late and peed in water bottles

‘Red One’ is one of the most anticipated productions of the year and will arrive in North American cinemas on November 15, 2024 – has been in development for a long time.

The film will feature none other than Dwayne Johnson as one of the protagonists, one of the best-known actors on the contemporary entertainment scene. Known for starring in some of the biggest blockbusters In recent memory, the actor is migrating to a new chapter of his career with the project, mainly due to the extremely high budget of US$250 million.

Originally, the film had a release date scheduled for the end of 2023, but it was postponed, apparently, due to the Hollywood screenwriters and actors’ strike. However, the story is much more complex (via The Wrap).

Production problems – ranging from Johnson’s chronic tardiness and lack of professionalism on set to producers’ inexperience – caused a considerable increase in the cost of the film co-starring Chris Evans It is JK Simmons.

According to more than a dozen people directly involved in the project, the development of ‘Red One’ turned into a storm of problems made worse by the inexperience of the film’s main producer, Hiram Garciaand the feature film and production executives of Amazon MGM, Julie Rapaport and Glenn Gainorwho are overseeing the project.

Sources told the The Wrap that Johnson arrived eight hours late for the film’s set – forcing the team to complete the recordings in just a few days. In the previous films, Johnson got into the habit of urinating into a water bottle to save time, annoying crew members.

“On set, away from the trailer, if he needs to urinate, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom.”said a source who knows the movie star well. “He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”.

That’s not all: in your first CinemaCon this year, Amazon MGM decided, in an unusual way, to show teasers of the film to a small group of journalists handpicked by Johnson’s advisor, Meredith O’Sullivan. Journalists watched about 10 minutes of footage but were not allowed to write about what they saw.

While it is common for studios to strategically reveal select scenes, the complete media blackout surrounding what was shown ‘Red One’ suggests that Amazon is aware it will have a difficult road to launch day.

In another statement to The Wrapan Amazon MGM spokesperson denied that there were any problems on the film’s set, whether it was delays caused by Johnson’s lack of commitment or Seven Bucks’ inexperience that caused the film’s budget to skyrocket.

“Dwayne Johnson and Seven Bucks have been incredible partners in ‘Red One’ – a film that audiences of all ages will love this holiday season”, said the spokesperson. “Our testing was very strong – the CinemaCon reaction speaks for itself – and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Dwayne’s constant work and support. Any report that implies we’ve reached this point with him arriving seven or eight hours late to set is both ridiculous and false.”
