AceShowbiz - Get ready for an unforgettable holiday season as Chris Evans and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson star in "Red One", a madcap action-adventure film aimed at saving Christmas. Bringing a blend of comedy, fantasy and heart-pounding action, the blockbuster movie promises to be a holiday favorite.
Amazon MGM Studios has dropped the highly anticipated trailer for "Red One", setting the stage for an unprecedented Christmas film starring the dynamic duo of Evans and Johnson, along with J.K. Simmons as a ripped Santa Claus. Directed by Jake Kasdan, known for his work on the "Jumanji" reboots, the film blends comedy, fantasy and action in a nail-biting race to save Christmas.
In "Red One," the North Pole's Head of Security, Callum Drift (Johnson), must collaborate with notorious bounty hunter Jack O'Malley (Evans) after Santa Claus (Simmons)-codename: Red One-is abducted. The action-packed mission takes the team across the globe in an adrenaline-fueled adventure to restore holiday cheer.
The trailer showcases gravity-defying stunts and laugh-out-loud moments. A standout sequence features Johnson transforming a toy Hot Wheels car into a full-sized Chevy Corvette, using advanced Christmas technology, while Evans humorously shops for a Wonder Woman action figure. "Not how it works, come on!" Johnson's character snaps, adding to the film's comedic flair.
Adding to the excitement are several scenes where the protagonists face animated adversities, from battling talking polar bears and sinister snowmen on a beach to fighting Krampus in a game of "Krampusschlap". Viewers are also treated to clever one-liners as Jay-Z's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" plays in the background, infusing an edgy vibe to the festivities.
Lucy Liu stars as Jacqueline Frost, who dubs Evans' character "the best tracker in the world" and enlists him for the high-stakes mission. The impressive cast is rounded out by Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll and Wesley Kimmel.
Johnson and Evans jointly shared the trailer on Instagram, exclaiming, "We both LOVE Christmas, and took Christmas lore and Christmas legend, shook it up and flipped it on its head. Just like we wanted to do to each other." The camaraderie between the leads promises to generate plenty of on-screen chemistry and off-screen buzz.
"Red One" is slated for release on November 15, just in time for the holiday season. As fans prepare for festive gatherings, this film aims to be the new holiday favorite, challenging the likes of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Home Alone".
The combination of star power, exhilarating action sequences, and festive cheer ensures "Red One" will be on everyone's 'must-watch' list for the holidays. Get ready to experience Christmas as you've never seen it before!
