For any fans of the book Red Notice, the only element shared between the film and the movie is the title.

Prior to Netflix picking up the film for their Original slate, Red Notice was set to be produced by Universal. Since the move to Netflix, the release date for Red Notice has been pushed back to an unconfirmed date.
With filming beginning in January, at the earliest, we could see a December release date for Red Notice. It’s more than likely that the action-comedy will arrive in the first few months of 2021.
What is the plot of Red Notice?
With very little plot revealed, a small synopsis has been provided by Netflix for Red Notice:
