Netflix Commits Largest Budget So Far For ‘The Gray Man;' Directed by the Russo Bros

EXCLUSIVE: Fresh from an earnings report that saw it add 10 million subscribers during the pandemic, Netflix has just set its most financially ambitious feature film so far. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans are set to star in The Gray Man, with AGBO’s Joe & Anthony Russo directing their first blockbuster since setting the all-time global box office record with Avengers: Endgame two years ago. The intention here is to create a new franchise with a James Bond-level of scale and a budget upwards of $200 million.

The action thriller is a deadly duel between killers as Gentry (Gosling) is hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former cohort of Gentry’s at the CIA. The Gray Man turned into a bestselling book series, and the expectation is that Gosling will continue in multiple installments. The project was developed years back at New Regency as a Brad Pitt/James Gray vehicle, but it stalled. The Russos have quietly been developing it for years.
“The movie is a real mano a mano between those two great actors, who represent two different versions of the CIA, in what it can be, and what it can do,” Anthony Russo told Deadline. “For those who were fans of Captain America: Winter Soldier, this is us moving into that territory in more of a real world setting. That’s what this movie really means for us.”

Damn. That’s a lot of money just for the talent involved.
Evans AND Gosling? Your two biggest male stars in the 30-40 age bracket. Plus the Russos. For a Netflix film. I’m definitely in. Netflix taking advantage of the Rona to super charge steaming movies.

Sign me the hell up

Weird to me that in a genre with endless material they picked this series. The book is pretty cheesy/shitty compared to a lot of the similar stuff out there. I've read a lot of unrealistic espionage/assassin stuff, so I'm not trying to nitpick too hard, but this is one of the few series where I couldn't get through book #1.
That said, I'll take what I can get when it comes to movies/TV.

Sounds like a good option to adapt. They can take the ideas they like and trim the dumb fat and cliches.

Here we go again with Hollyweird ramming their agenda down America’s throat.
Oh, Gray you say. Never mind.

The real story here is there were actually 10 million people without Netflix before the virus.

Sounds cool but they need to change the name

Will they polish up the script or just film the first draft?

Can't tell if this is a Russo burn, Netflix burn, or specific Netflix movie burn.

I thought this would be a movie about Albert Fish. They say he was gray in both appearance and demeanor.

Damn, Netflix subscription prices about to increase again.

2 good actors let's hope the material and directing is there
Bird Box is still the best by far. That was a surprising good Netflix movie
