J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus on a poster for Red One.
The list of actors who broke out after getting a start under filmmaker Judd Apatow is long and illustrious. Some, like Jonah Hill and James Franco, have even gone on to garner Oscars attention. But in his career, Apatow has also empowered fellow directors. Look no further than Jake Kasdan, the son of veteran writer Lawrence Kasdan, who was perhaps best known for having directed the cult comedy film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story before graduating to the big leagues.
Kasdan’s highest-grossing film remainsJumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which generated over $960 million worldwide in 2017. This was also his first collaboration with the then newly minted movie star Johnson. They returned to work together on Jumanji: The Next Level, which grossed over $800 million globally in 2019. Red One is their third film together. It’s also the costliest movie that Kasdan has worked on, with a reported price tag of $250 million.
