Dwayne Johnson looks like a holiday hero in the first image from his upcoming film RedOne, which is currently filming.
With the holiday season now underway, we’re looking forward to titles including the Lindsay Lohan-led Falling For Christmas and the A Christmas Story sequel, A Christmas Story 2, to land on our screens and help spread some cheer. But many of us are keeping our eyes fixed on this time next year for the release of the Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans-led holiday action feature currently titled Red One.
Along with the major filming chatter, a casting announcement is making a clatter. The report also announced that Academy Award-winning actor J.K. Simmons and Emmy nominee Bonnie Hunt will join the call sheet as Santa and Mrs. Claus, respectively. We’re loving the prospective chemistry between the two and the probable gruffness and dry wit that Simmons will bring to the jolly old Saint Nick.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Directed by Jake Kasdan , the Prime Video feature will be a holiday action flick that hopes to turn itself into a franchise. While specific details are being kept under wraps, we can expect classic holiday characters and storylines tied into a jet-setting, world-traveling tale of adventure. Everyone involved is playing their cards close to their chests with Evans giving us a tiny glimpse of pre-production happenings a few weeks back.
In the past, Johnson has worked with both Kasdan on the Jumanji franchise and screenplay writer Chris Morgan who holds credits on many of the Fast & Furious films including the Johnson led The Fate of the Furious and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Red One’s original story was penned by Seven Bucks President of Production Hiram Garcia.
As of right now, no release date for Red One has been set, but stay tuned to Collider for more information. Check out the first look image below and keep scrolling to catch a Collider interview with Johnson where he chats about his latest feature Black Adam, which is in theaters now.
