Netflix has unveiled further details about its upcoming heist thriller The Take, bringing together Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones for a crime story built around shifting loyalties and deadly double-crosses.
The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Fernando Meirelles, known for City of God and The Two Popes, from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg, whose credits include Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the X-Men franchise.
What Is Netflix’s The Take About?
Described by Netflix as an unconventional heist movie, The Take follows a bank guard, a bank teller, and a master thief who become entangled in a deadly game of cons and double-crosses.
Rather than focusing solely on the mechanics of a robbery, the premise suggests a crime thriller driven by conflicting interests, deception, and the increasingly dangerous relationships between its central characters.
Further plot details, including the identities of the characters portrayed by the three leads, have not yet been revealed.
Who Is in the Cast of The Take?
Denzel Washington, whose acclaimed performances include Training Day and Glory, leads the cast alongside Robert Pattinson, known for The Batman and Tenet, and Daisy Edgar-Jones, who rose to prominence with Normal People and subsequently starred in Twisters.
The supporting cast includes Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead), Sean Harris (Mission: Impossible), Moisés Arias (Monos, Jockey), and Justin Kirk (Succession, Weeds).
The pairing of Washington and Pattinson is among the project’s most notable attractions, bringing together two actors associated with distinctive performances across major studio productions and character-driven dramas.
Fernando Meirelles Directs the Netflix Thriller
Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Meirelles returns to crime-thriller territory with The Take. His previous work includes the internationally acclaimed City of God, The Constant Gardener, and Netflix’s The Two Popes, which received three Academy Award nominations.
Simon Kinberg has written the screenplay and also serves as a producer alongside Meirelles and Audrey Chon for Genre Films. Samson Mucke is attached as executive producer.
With Meirelles directing and Kinberg writing, the film combines the creative experience of filmmakers whose previous projects span crime dramas, political thrillers, and major Hollywood franchises.
When Will The Take Be Released on Netflix?
According to Netflix’s latest announcement, The Take is currently in production in New Jersey. An official release date has yet to be confirmed.
Netflix is expected to share further updates as additional cast members and release information are announced.
