When do you feel undue pressure the most?

Ever watch a film that ended with a blatant set up for a sequel? Focusing on future storylines while filming the first iteration can get them into trouble. It’s like the concept of a “trap game” in sports. Two elite teams play one another next week, completely looking past their current week’s bottom-dwelling opponents, sometimes resulting in an embarrassing loss. What better trio to cast as leads in a potential movie franchise than the massive Dwayne Johnson, the lovable Ryan Reynolds, and superhero Gal Gadot. The problem, though, is they’re all ungodly expensive! In 2020, Dwayne and Ryan were the two highest paid male actors, while Gal was 5th among females. Which brings us to their exceedingly average film, Red Notice. Talk about pressure! Not only does the movie have to make a ton of money to cover the cost of the talent for this film, but they need to repeat that feat ad nauseam to profit from a franchise. Red Notice might have been a financial version of a trap game unto itself. Most of us can relate, though. Regardless of how much money we earn, financial pressures are a constant.
