A bank robbery with a lot of love involved, or a love story that incorporates a bank robbery?
That's what audiences will have to decipher when Netflix's new original thriller, The Takepremieres on the platform on January 15, 2027.
The feature film stars Oscar winner, Denzel Washington (Gladiator II), Robert Pattinson (The Batman) y Daisy Edgar-Jones (Twisters), who are recruited for a high-risk job.
The streamer starts the marketing campaign by presenting the first official poster, available at the end of the note.
Directed by Oscar nominee, Fernando Meirelles (The Two Popes) and with a hyphen Simon Kinberg (Invasion, Mr. and Mrs. Smith), the plot revolves around former captain Noah (Pattinson), who, fresh out of the army, tries to adapt to civilian life when the charismatic and expert thief Christian Carter (Washington) recruits him to be part of his gang in the heist of his life: rob the richest bank in Manhattan. The otherwise meticulous plan has just one snag: Noah's girlfriend, Rose (Edgar-Jones), works at the bank as a teller. With time against him and love at stake, Noah must decide who he can trust if he wants to get out of the heist alive.
The thriller promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
In addition to Washington, Pattinson and Edgar-Jones, its cast includes North Danai (Black Panther), Sean Harris (The Stranger), Moisés Arias (Monkeys) y Justin Kirk (Succession).
In an interview with Tudum, Meirelles said what initially attracted him to Kinberg's script was the unconventional mix of genres. “Until the end, you don't know if you're looking at a love story that includes a robbery, or a heist movie that contains a love story. Both elements have a lot of weight.”
The script also featured a non-linear structure, similar to a puzzle, that keeps the viewer in suspense as the plot develops. And unlike many traditional heist movies, the story is told almost entirely from the perspective of a single character: Noah. “You only know what he knows,” explains Meirelles.
The feature film is produced by Meirelles, along with Kinberg and Audrey Chon, with Samson Mucke as executive producer.
The Take arrives in select theaters in the United States and on Netflix worldwide on January 15, 2027.
