Find out if The Rock and Chris Evans have what it takes to save Christmas in Red One, the thrilling holiday film of the year.
Amazon MGM Studios has just released the new trailer for this year’s big holiday film, RED ONE. In the movie, Santa Claus gets kidnapped right before Christmas, jeopardizing the entire holiday season. But who could possibly save Christmas? Well, none other than The Rock, Chris Evans, and a grumpy giant Polar Bear! The film seems like it’s going to keep us entertained as we count down to Christmas, but do Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans have what it takes to save the day? You can watch the trailer below and decide for yourself.
SAVING CHRISTMAS
The movie features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the Head of Security at the North Pole. He teams up with a notorious bounty hunter, played by Chris Evans, to rescue Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons), who has been abducted by evil forces aiming to ruin Christmas. They face mythical creatures, thugs, and villains along the way, but with the aid of cool gadgets, a giant polar bear, and some Marvel-style action, the movie promises to be an absolute blast. Let’s be honest: Johnson and Evans taking on a few evil snowmen could be a gold mine!
Jake Kasdan, a frequent collaborator of Johnson’s, directs the film. He brings his success from Sony’s Jumanji sequels to this project, and the Black Adam star aims to replicate their joint success. Johnson’s recent box office performance took a hit with the underwhelming return of DC’s Black Adam. However, his partnership with Ryan Reynolds in Red Notice remains one of Netflix’s most successful films.
RELEASE
Judging by the trailer, Red One looks like a blast. Evans and Johnson together is a dynamite team, and with Kristofer Hivju of Game of Thrones playing Krampus, the film seems to be a new festive classic. Joining Johnson and Evans in the movie is Kiernan Shipka, who plays a monstrous entity from Icelandic folklore, Grýla, and Lucy Liu, who plays the uber-secretive Zoe. Rounding out the cast is Bonnie Hunt, who fills the role of Mrs. Claus.
Looks like we’ve got a new Christmas classic to add to our yearly watchlist. Red One seems like a sure winner with its perfect blend of festive fun, over-the-top action, and the chemistry between Johnson and Evans. Following the success of DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE this summer, the buddy team-up genre is thriving, and all eyes are on this film to make a big splash before it hits the streaming platforms.
RED ONE brings the festivities to cinemas on November 6th.
