The Take is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest films of early 2027. Netflix is kicking off 2027 with a heist. The Take, a twisty bank-robbery thriller starring Robert Pattinson, Denzel Washington and Daisy Edgar-Jones, arrives on January 15, 2027, with a limited theatrical run alongside its worldwide Netflix premiere. The streamer has just released the first-look images, including Pattinson striding out of a bank vault in a sharp burgundy suit.
What Is The Take About?
Pattinson plays Noah, a former Army captain struggling to adjust to civilian life. Washington plays Carter, the mastermind who recruits him to rob one of Manhattan’s richest banks. Complicating matters is Rose, played by Edgar-Jones, Noah’s girlfriend, who happens to work at the bank as a teller.
What sets the film apart from a typical heist movie is its point of view. Rather than jumping between members of the crew, the story unfolds entirely from Noah’s perspective, putting the audience inside his head as the plan, and his loyalties, start to unravel.
An Impressive Team Behind the Camera
The film is directed by Fernando Meirelles, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind City of God and The Two Popes, from a script by Simon Kinberg, the writer and producer known for the X-Men films and Deadpool. The project was previously known as Here Comes the Flood.
Joining the three leads is a strong supporting cast that includes Danai Gurira, Sean Harris, Moisés Arias and Justin Kirk.
A Big Few Years for Pattinson
The Take continues a busy stretch for Pattinson. He is also set to return as Bruce Wayne in The Batman Part II, and has recently been named as one of the actors reportedly in the running to be the next James Bond. He even joked recently that he’d love to play 17 again.
For Washington, the film marks another collaboration with a major streamer, while Edgar-Jones, best known for Normal People, Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters, adds yet another high-profile project to her résumé.
You can find more details on the official Netflix Tudum page.
