Netflix is now also experiencing the effects of the spreading corona virus. The shooting of a production has to be postponed at short notice.
- The number of people infected with the coronavirus continues to rise rapidly.
- Since locations for Netflix productions are also affected, the streaming service will likely have to postpone the completion of a film.
- Several world-famous actors are involved in the production.
The film industry is slowly struggling with the spread of the corona virus. This affects not only Hollywood itself, but also the streaming giant Netflix , which now produces countless films and series itself. The problem is less due to infected team members. Instead, many works should be shot in locations particularly affected by the corona virus .
In order to avoid endangering the people involved, those responsible have therefore postponed several shoots - such as the completion of a Netflix film .
Netflix wants to postpone shooting of the film "Red Notice"
The coronavirus is not convenient for Netflix * because the streaming service planned to record part of the action film "Red Notice" in Italy. In order not to endanger the entire production team, those responsible are therefore looking for new locations, reports Deadline. Accordingly, there could be delays not only in the completion, but also in the broadcast . Under these circumstances, it is not foreseeable when the film will be released.
This development could cost a lot for the streaming service. As insiders suspect, production is said to be one of the most expensive the streaming service has ever done. This is partly due to the actor fees, because this is how the action stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ("Jumanji", "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw"), Ryan Reynolds ("Deadpool") and Gal Gadot perform ("Wonder Woman") together.

Hollywood also suffers from the corona virus . For example, the makers of "Mission: Impossible 7" announced that they would have to postpone a three-week shoot in Venice due to the spreading pathogen.
In addition, it can be assumed that further film and series productions will be affected in the future. The same applies to film premieres, which pose a security risk due to the large crowds.
