Chris Evans Joins Dwayne Johnson in The Amazon Christmas Film RED ONE
Chris Evans is set to star opposite Dwayne Johnson in Amazon’s upcoming holiday film Red One. The movie is described as a “globe-trotting, four-quadrant action-adventure comedy imagining a whole new universe to explore within the holiday genre.’
Unfortunately, there are no story details to share, but the movie is being directed by Jake Kasdan (Jumanji) from a screenplay written by Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw, The Fate of the Furious, Furious 7, Fast & Furious 6 and Fast Five). The plan is to shoot the movie at some point this year.
When previously talking about the movie, Johnson described it as “Hobbs meets Miracle on 34th Street”. He said:
A new twist on our CHRISTMAS MYTHOLOGY and creating the most fun HOLIDAY UNIVERSE to enjoy.
Imagine HOBBS meets MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
Our RED ONE writer is one of the greatest action writers of all time, Chris Morgan.
Chris wrote FAST 5 (my favorite Fast & Furious movie), FAST 6, FAST 7, FAST 8 and HOBBS & SHAW!Big mahalo to our partners Jen Salke and her hungry @AmazonStudios team for having a shared global ambition to deliver our original Christmas story to families around the world.
And lastly, there’s only one person who can direct RED ONE and bring that one of kind Christmas mana and epic adventure and FUN to the film…
