Robert Pattinson heist thriller Netflix movie The Take set to kick off 2027 with a bang

We're getting closer and closer to the end of 2026, and while the year isn't over yet and there are still lots of great new releases coming to Netflix before the year wraps, we're already learning about what we have to look forward to next year. From the shows that have been renewed to the movies set for release, our 2027 calendar is steadily being filled by the streaming service.

If you were thinking we were about to enter 2027 without some quality entertainment, think again. It's been a landmark year for Robert Pattinson with major big-screen releases like The Odyssey, Primetime, The Drama, and Dune: Part Three, but the movie star isn't slowing down after dominating 2026. Pattinson's set to co-lead Netflix's heist thriller The Take alongside two fellow movie stars.

The Take, which also stars Denzel Washington and Daisy Edgar-Jones, makes its premiere on Netflix worldwide on Friday, Jan. 15, 2027, as announced by the streaming on Nov. 9. For the most part, the movie had been flying under the radar as Pattinson made a splash all throughout 2026, but the streaming service has officially made its move by putting the film on its calendar.

The movie comes from director Fernando Meirelles and writer Simon Kinberg, both of whom are producers along with Audrey Chon. In addition to its three stars in the leading roles, The Take also features performances from The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira, The Borgias actor Sean Harris, Hannah Montana vet Moisés Arias, and Weeds actor Justin Kirk in supporting roles.

For those wondering what to expect from The Take, here's the official synopsis as shared by Netflix: "An unconventional heist movie about a bank guard, a teller, and a master thief in a deadly game of cons and double crosses."

Washington plays Carter, the master thief, while Pattinson plays Noah, a former Army captain who's seemingly the bank's guard, and Edgar-Jones is Rose, the bank's teller and also the girlfriend of Pattinson's character. It's a tangled web these three find themselves in, especially when Carter calls on Noah for help with a major bank robbery scheme that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Prior to its 2027 release date, The Take was originally titled Here Comes the Flood and began production in November 2025 before wrapping filming in January 2026. While the movie could have been prepared for release in late 2026, it's obvious that Pattinson's packed schedule likely prevented that from being possible, not to mention, Edgar-Jones also appears in the big screen this fall in the new Sense and Sensibility adaptation. An early 2027 release is the perfect move.

As of the release date announcement in November 2026, Netflix hasn't yet shared the official trailer or even a teaser. The streamer typically drops trailers for its original movies about one month before they release, so expect a closer look at The Take in December. To hold us over, Netflix gave us four first-look photos, two of which are featured above and the other two are featured below!

The Take premieres Friday, Jan. 15, 2027 on Netflix.
