Aaaaand guess who’s too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around 🙋🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
For our @netflix globe trotting heist movie, RED NOTICE, my writer/director @rawsonthurber (pictured here on the ground setting up the new camera angle) wrote this INSANE chase sequence where I hop in this iconic Porsche and be the bad ass behind the wheel that I am.
Well, after months of prep and costs 💰 buying and shipping this car over to the states - it’s time to rehearse the big chase sequence.
It goes as follows/
Rawson: Hey D, let’s get you in the Porsche and I’ll line up the shot.
DJ: Let’s do it.
* DJ attempts to get into the car only to get stuck because his back is a bit too wide.
Rawson: * laughs.
* DJ continues to struggle trying to shimmy into this Porsche like a big ass brown marshmallow getting shoved into a coin slot.
Rawson: Wait can you fit?
DJ: No.
*Rawson now nervously laughs.
Rawson: Are you fucking with me?
DJ: No.
Rawson: Oh my God.
After about 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence... Rawson, myself and the entire crew just started laughing our asses off!! 😂😂
Fuck it. Welcome to 2020. 🤣
In the end we showed our agility to think quick on our feet and found “creative” ways to still get the shot. ☝🏾👏🏾👊🏾 🎥
Maybe the Rock should consider slimming down a bit because he got into this situation before when he was filming the show "Ballers." he coudln't fit into the Ferrari LaFerrari. but this isn't the first time a tiny vehicle caused problems to actors while making a movie like Sean Connery who didn't fit into Toyota 2000GT car during a movie called You Only Live Twice which forced the stuff to make a modifications that reportedly included removing the top and cutting down the windshield to make it easier to see the actors' faces.
