Netflix is shifting production of an action-thriller movie starring Chris Hemsworth to eastern Europe because of the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown as production of Russell Crowe’s PokerFace has been shut down after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19.

Crowe confirmed the positive case of COVID-19 via Twitter, saying: “Unfortunately six days from the end of our shoot on PokerFace we have had a confirmed positive COVID case amongst our crew and a second possible positive under further investigation by our PokerFace COVID team and NSWHealth”.
