Everything you need to know about ‘The Take’
Netflix has roped in a trio of Hollywood heavyweights to lead what’s shaping up to be one of next year’s biggest releases: the pulsating original heist thriller, The Take.
Starring Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edger-Jones, the upcoming Netflix Original thriller, formerly titled Here Comes the Flood, promises a high-stakes deception packed with unexpected edge-of-your-seat elements.
Principal photography wrapped earlier this year, and filming took place across Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Atlanta, and New York City. Directed by Fernando Meirelles from a script written by Simon Kinberg, the project is currently in post-production.
As for the rest of the details, here’s a comprehensive guide to everything known so far about The Take, including the plot, cast, crew, and release window.
What is the plot?
Netflix recently lifted the lid on an official synopsis for The Take, which follows a bank security guard, a bank teller, and a skilled thief as they get entangled in a dangerous game of “cons and double crosses.” Of course, the streaming giant didn’t reveal who’s who, but that’s part of the good-game and spoiler-free surprises. But since this is no ordinary heist thriller, expect deception and betrayal like bread and butter at breakfast.
Who is in the cast?
As mentioned earlier, leading the ensemble for The Take are Denzel Washington, Daisy Edger-Jones, and Robert Pattinson. Washington has yet to star in a Netflix Original project, and his streaming appearances so far have been restricted to interviews in Giving Voice and archival features in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom: A Legacy Brought to Screen. So, knowing just how much Netflix users love a Washington-starrer, this news will surely send many on cloud nine.
Similarly, Edger-Jones hasn’t starred in a Netflix Original project. But her showbiz stints include high-profile titles like Where the Crawdads Sing, Twisters, and Sense and Sensibility. As for Pattinson, he appeared in two Netflix Originals, including The King and Devil All the Time. And we know you cannot wait for another addition.
Meanwhile, the rest of the cast includes Danai Gurira, Sean Harris, Moises Arias, Justin Kirk, Anthony Molinari, Jacob Moskovitz, Andrea Bianchi, Vincent Riotta, Vince Eisenson, Julia Cleary, Yediel Quiles, Mayssae El Halla, Brian Muller, Colin Richard Allen, and Jordan Rodriguez, all starring in yet-undisclosed roles.
