After one season of The CW’sBatwoman, star Ruby Rose quit, handing over the cape and cowl to Javicia Leslie for Season 2. So what has Ruby Rose been up to since walking away from the coveted DC Comics superhero role of a lifetime? She’s been busy making action movies. And today, we have a look at her latest project titledSAS: Red Notice.
The first trailer forSAS: Red Noticecomes packed with a ton of action and thrills. But it is not to be confused with The Rock’sRed Notice, which completed principle photography late last year and is currently in post-production. That thriller co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, and will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2021. So, in the meantime, we have this similarly titled action thriller to tide us over, which has a firm release date of March 16 On Demand.
Starring Sam Heughan, Ruby Rose,Tom Wilkinsonand Tom Hopper,SAS: Red Noticeis based on the best selling novel by Andy McNab. The project is described as “a provocative and authentic portrayal of an emergency response operation and the singular mindset Tom needs to survive.”
Tom Buckingham (Sam Heughan), a special forces operator, is taking Dr. Sophie Hart from London to Paris to propose. When their train is deep inside the Channel Tunnel, Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose) and her team of heavily armed war criminals seize the train and hold hundreds of passengers hostage. Grace threatens to expose the British governments darkest secrets and blow up the Channel Tunnel if her ransom demands are not met. Unarmed and cut off from his counter terror team, Tom is the only hope that Sophie and the other passengers have to make it out alive.

Though Ruby Rose is adamant that she didn’t leaveBatwomanbecause of previous injuries. And she seems more than ready and raring to go in the action heavy first footage fromSAS: Red Notice.
