Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds is currently in Abu Dhabi shooting for an upcoming Netflix original thriller "6 Underground" ... and to say people are excited is an understatement.
According to Forbes Middle East, the star landed in the Emirate earlier this week and is set to be filming for an entire month. Over 300 cast and crew members made their way to the UAE to help make the movie - directed by Michael Bay - happen.
Bay is best known for directing the American science fiction action series: Transformers.
The film's production team is working with twofour54, a UAE-based media free zone that facilitates shooting in several locations, including Liwa desert, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.

Abu Dhabi has become a top filming location in recent years
In recent years, several international filmmakers and production companies have opted to shoot parts of their films in Abu Dhabi.
This comes as no surprise considering the rapid growth the emirate's film industry has witnessed in recent years. Facilitating the process even further is the opening of media zones such as twofour54 which offers remarkable production services.
In 2015, the company landed a deal to film Director Rohit Dhawan's Bollywood film "Dishoom" in the city.
That same year, twofour54 facilitated the production of Brad Pitt's satirical comedy "War Machine" - which was shot in Abu Dhabi over a period of 22 days.
