Red One, a Christmas-themed action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, will be released in theaters and Prime Video in 2024.
The film was completed in early 2023, then went underground, and has now been confirmed to have stopped filming November 15, 2024. Deadline shared the news yesterday, confirming that Amazon-MGM Studios and Dwayne Johnson’s The Seven Bucks are considering giving it a solid theatrical window before its final destination: Prime Video. The decision seems to have been made after the main force “passed two tests and scored very high scores.”

Plot details are scarce, but the film, starring streaming regulars Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, has been described as a “four quadrant” version, which is probably the most boring and corporate thing I’ve ever said about a movie. The way. Saw it before. However, it’s based on an original story by Seven Bucks Production President Hiram Garcia, so I guess it is.
“The Rock” has said of “Red One” in the past: “It’s a big, fun movie that travels the world and brings Christmas home to you and your family in a way you’ve never seen before.” Then again, this sounds like the streaming service’s definitive “algorithmic movie.” But it also stars J.K. Simmons as a torn Santa Claus, which is tough.
“Red One” is directed by “Jumanji” reboot helmer Jack Kasdan, from a script by “Fast and Furious” veteran Chris Morgan. In addition to Johnson, Evans and Simmons, the cast also includes Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Christopher Heavier, Nick Kroll, Mary Elizabeth Elie Si and Wesley Kimmel.
