Amazon MGM says that claims stating that Dwayne Johnson was repeatedly eight hours late to the set of Red One are 'false' and 'ridiculous.'
published an article claiming that, according to “more than a dozen insiders directly involved in the project,” Johnson would repeatedly show up as “much as eight hours late to set on the movie — forcing the crew to shoot around him on some days.”In a statement to TheWrap, a spokesperson for Amazon MGM denied these claims.
“Dwayne Johnson and Seven Bucks have been incredible partners on ‘Red One’—a film that audiences of all ages are going to love this holiday season,” they said. “Our testing has been very strong — the reaction from CinemaCon speaks for itself — and we couldn’t have made it without Dwayne’s constant work and support. Any reporting that implies that we got to this point with him showing up seven-eight hours late to set is both ridiculous and false.
Insiders speaking to TheWrap further said that Johnson’s alleged tardiness caused Red One’s budget to balloon by approximately $50 million. One source, however, said this was false and that the budget stayed around the $250 million figure Amazon greenlit the movie at. “It is completely normal for there to be budget fluctuations within 15% of the target, which is exactly what we experienced,” the source said., Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll, Bonnie Hunt, and more.
According to TheWrap, Amazon premiered footage of Red One at CinemaCon earlier this year “to a small group of journalists,” though these journalists were reportedly not allowed to write about what they were shown. “While it’s common for studios to strategically reveal selected scenes, the complete media blackout surrounding the Red One footage suggests that Amazon is aware that it will have a rocky road to its delayed release,” TheWrap’s article reads.
