"Red Notice" is said to be the most expensive Netflix film to date.
But not only the top-class cast led to the enormous production costs.
A film can cost millions of euros to produce.
It's not just the actors who want to be paid, the director and the extras don't work for free either.
In addition, there are sets, costumes, special effects, etc. pp. Film studios not only have to dig deep into their pockets for large Hollywood productions:
even films that "only" run on Netflix * or Amazon sometimes devour huge sums of money.
The action comedy "Red Notice" also falls into this category.

Kino.de
informs, the production of the star-studded flick with 250 to 300 million US dollars was the most expensive Netflix production in the film sector to date.
But anyone who thinks that this was solely due to the Hollywood cast and the lavish setting is wrong.

) was waiting on the corner to distract us, ”Gadot said on the show. Reynolds added,
"We wasted millions of Netflix dollars laughing and fooling around on the set."
The fooling around has certainly driven up the final cost.
However, the main reasons for the high costs are to be found elsewhere.
The leading actors Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot are currently among the highest-paid acting stars

In addition, the spectacular filming locations and lavish action scenes will have swallowed up some of the film budget, according to the assumption of the
