The gray man: Movie becomes the most expensive on Netflix
Netflix continues to do its thing to continue establishing itself as one of the best streaming platforms in the world. On this occasion, disbursing more than 200 million dollars for the realization of "The Gray Man", being his most expensive film in history.
The power that Netflix has in terms of production is enormous, when we remember that just last November "Red Alert" had that position. Now, in February they surprise us with a new major title.
The gray man: Netflix premieres new blockbuster
Announced for these weeks of February, the film is now available on the Netflix platform. In this way, it becomes the most expensive that the company has produced in its history.
It will be directed by the experienced Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe, known especially for their participation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
On the other hand, they will have the star participation of Ryan Gosling, as well as an old acquaintance, Chris Evans.
In addition to that, the new Netflix blockbuster would be just the first installment of what promises to be a saga of espionage and action. This thanks to the fact that it is based on the famous novel of books written by Mark Greaney.
It will become the most expensive movie in its history
Recently, we had the premieres of "Red Alert" and also "Don't look up", which meant a total success for the platform.
Behind them, there is also a tremendous production, especially in economic matters. And the effort paid off, since both installments became the most viewed in its history.
For this reason, given the success of their formula, they sought to repeat it again, but this time taking the rod to the next level. Such is the case of "The Gray Man", which had an investment of 200 million dollars for its staging.
And it is that, hand in hand with the Russo directors, they sought to take the film to the top of the platform, as well as worldwide.
If we still haven't surpassed hits like “Red Notice” or “Don't Look Up” , Now we will also have “The Gray Man” available on Netflix.
The Gray Man: Book is Adapted by Netflix
It was learned that the story of the film will be based on the events that occurred in the series of homonymous novels by Mark Greaney. Launched for the first time in 2009, today it already has more than 11 installments to its name.
It should be noted that Mark Greaney, the author of the books, had a very particular preparation in writing his novels.
Specifically, he traveled to 15 countries in order to obtain training and information on military operations and police activities. He also learned how to use firearms, and first aid techniques that are commonly used in battle.
In charge of the script was Joe Russo, who has confirmed his experience with installments such as "Captain America and the Winter Soldier." Delivery that, by the way, is closely related to plots of espionage and action.
It could become a movie series
The main idea that the Russo brothers have is to dedicate themselves fully to the creation of a universe around the Greaney sagas.
To do this, they would have as a cornerstone Ryan Gosling, who is the protagonist of the adaptation of the novels. Regarding this, Joe Russo commented in an interview conducted by Deadline that:
"The idea is to create a franchise and build a whole universe, with Ryan at the center. We've all committed to the first movie, and that has to be great to carry us into the second movie. We have a great working relationship with Netflix and "We went back almost 20 years with Scott Stuber. We formed AGBO to be a storytelling agnostic company, where we discovered the best platform. We think Netflix is the perfect place for this film."
That is why it is said that the new installment would aim to position itself at the height of great espionage classics, such as James Bond. At least, money will not be lacking thanks to Netflix.
The Gray Man: Adaptation Cast
Although the main eyes are on Ryan Gosling, the truth is that the cast of the entire film is something to talk about. Clearly, because of the quality and experience that each one has.
In addition, without counting on the vision of the Russo brothers, who are also in the production of other titles. One of them would be the live-action adaptation of Hercules by Disney.
Also, we have the participation of Chris Evans, who has a much more leading role compared to his barely glimpse in “Don't Look Up”. Specifically, he would be the antagonist of the story.
And if we talk about James Bond, we will have first-hand his female version, Ana de Armas, as we saw in “No time to die”. We are also joined by Regé-Jean Page, known for her role in Bridgerton, and Billy Bob Thornton, who was Goliath.
The cast is completed by Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, Alfre Woodard, Julia Butters, Eme Ikwuakor and Scott Haze, for a first-rate panel.
The gray man: what is it about? Know your synopsis
For this role, Ryan Gosling will play Court Gentry, who serves as a mercenary and executioner for hire. His skills, obtained through his training in the US intelligence agency, allowed him to gain fame in the field, acquiring the nickname "The Gray Man".
However, his true identity behind the pseudonym is revealed, so all his loved ones will be exposed, as well as his own life.
To pursue the main traces of Gentry, we will have Chris Evans in his role as Lloyd Hansen, who would be the villain of the film. The latter would also have his training under the CIA headquarters, so he would be the one to pursue the protagonist.
Between all this, we will have a great series of action sequences and full of murders, wrapped in a story in the purest style of spies.
