As one of the most box office stars in Hollywood today, Dwayne Johnson has not brought any new movies starring him throughout 2023. This year he will star in at least two new films. One of them, "Red One," invested by Amazon, has recently made him a hot topic in Hollywood.
Recently, foreign media broke the news that due to a series of confusing behaviors by "The Rock" Johnson, the budget of this movie has soared to 250 million US dollars, directly catching up with the production cost of superhero-themed movies. According to reports, Johnson was chronically late and lacked professionalism and professionalism as a producer while filming the film.
According to three people familiar with the matter, Johnson would be seven or eight hours late almost every day, which delayed the production of the film for several days. This alone increased the production cost of the film by US$50 million.
In addition, several insiders also revealed a bad habit of Johnson on the set: In order to save time, Johnson developed the habit of urinating in Voss mineral water bottles on the set. The crew or his team had to dispose of the water bottles, which made the film director feel uncomfortable.
As the film's producer, Amazon MGM also immediately refuted the news. The statement denied that Johnson's tardiness and inexperience on the set caused the film's budget to be out of control and delayed.
The film was originally not scheduled to be released during the Christmas period of 2023, but was eventually moved to November this year. The reason given by the film crew at the time was the delay caused by the two major labor union strikes last year. In addition, according to media reports last year, Amazon offered Johnson a salary of US$500,000 per day for the film, which also set a record for the highest single-day salary for a Hollywood actor for a single film.
As one of the most popular stars in Hollywood, Johnson is loved by fans around the world for his hard work, strength and action comedy star on and off the screen.
However, the revelations about the scandal on the set of the new film "Red One" may not be groundless. The problem of lateness on set seems to have always been with Johnson, from the HBO series "The Ballers" to the 2018 movie "Rampage", to the Internet he and Ryan Reynolds will bring in 2021. Flying movie "Red Notice", these movies were all exposed to the news that Johnson was late on the set.
In a "WrestleMania 40" match held earlier this month, Johnson attended the match as a guest. However, Johnson was more than two hours late that night before finally appearing at the scene, which also caused a lot of confusion at the time. The dissatisfaction of the audience.
It seems that Johnson urinating in a voss water bottle on the set is not too shocking news, because as early as 2017, Johnson himself explained this behavior on social media. Johnson claimed at the time that he was exercising He needed to replenish water frequently, so he needed to go to the bathroom frequently. In the end, he took out a voss water bottle to solve this problem.
So these "scandals" that happened on the set of "Red One" may have long been accustomed to fans who are familiar with Johnson movies, but for Amazon, this film has two actors, Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. It probably doesn't take a lot of thought to spend a huge amount of money on a superstar action-comedy movie, but the only question is will it be attractive enough for moviegoers when it's finally released?
