Netflix Reveals First Look at Denzel Washington's 'Unconventional' Heist Movie The Take

Netflix has pulled back the curtain on its new heist thriller 'The Take,' starring Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones. MovieWeb and JoBlo shared the first images from the film, which was originally titled 'Here Comes the Flood.'

The movie, directed by Fernando Meirelles, follows a former Army captain named Noah, played by Pattinson. He is recruited by a charismatic thief, Christian Carter (Washington), to rob Manhattan's wealthiest bank, which just so happens to be where Noah's girlfriend Rose (Edgar-Jones) works.

Meirelles told Entertainment Weekly that the film will break from heist movie tradition. Per the director, the audience will experience the entire story through the eyes of Pattinson's character, learning information only as he does.

Robert Pattinson called the script, written by Simon Kinberg, 'really interesting and exciting,' making it easy to join the project. The film is scheduled to debut on Netflix in 2027, though a specific release date has not been set.
