Journey Through a Magical Realm: A Fresh Take on the Christmas Tale, Blending Cultures in an Epic, Adrenaline-Pumping Adventure
A kick-ass Christmas movie is upon us, led by none other than Chris Morgan, the mastermind behind seven of the iconic Fast & Furious films. This time, he's diving headfirst into the heartwarming tales and intriguing traditions of Christmas around the world, promising a festive blend of action, comedy, and a dash of reality.
Hiram Garcia, producer and president of Seven Bucks Productions, alongside Dwayne Johnson, shares a similar excitement, wanting to create an action-packed Christmas spectacle filled with heart and humor. According to Johnson, it's all about capturing that warm, fuzzy feeling we get from classic holiday films like Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life, as well as contemporary favorites like Elf and Bad Santa.
They all agree that their own holiday movie needs to offer something fresh, something ambitious – a winter blockbuster that looks at the mythology of Christmas in a unique, realistic way. So, with Dany Garcia, Johnson, and Morgan on board for the ride, they couldn't help but brainstorm ideas until it seemed there was no stopping them.
Long-time collaborator Chris Morgan jumped at the opportunity, eager to spin a new and unexpected yarn about the holidays. He explains that the secrets behind Santa's story might have a grain of truth, but they're about to reveal the rest with a delightful twist.
Dwayne Johnson had history with director and producer Jake Kasdan, having worked together on the global sensations Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: Next Level. Johnson believed Kasdan was the perfect partner to direct and produce this new project, as he knows how to weave a funny, heartwarming story amidst the grand spectacle of a giant, action-packed adventure.
Upon hearing the idea, Kasdan was instantly smitten. The prospect of showing the real North Pole, pulling back the curtain in a grounded, never-before-seen way, was enticing. He couldn't wait to bring a new and contemporary spin to the timeless story of Santa Claus.
This new Christmas movie aims to tell a classic story while offering modern audiences a fresh take on the holidays. It follows two heroes, Cal and Jack, as they navigate their personal crises and learn the importance of kindness, love, and family. With Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans starring as these action-packed heroes, the film promises to deliver laughs, heart, and action, leaving audiences feeling festive and nostalgic.
Rule number one, according to producer Hiram Garcia, when doing a Christmas movie, you've got to have fun. With a talented team, collected focus, and shared love for the Christmas spirit, they're dedicated to making something that will bring joy and positivity to the world during the holiday season.
The movie stars JK Simmons as the amazing Santa Claus, who admits he was drawn to the epic nature of the film, but also to its heart and compelling story. With Jumanji's Jake Kasdan at the helm, Chris Morgan joining as executive producer, and Hiram Garcia bringing it all together, Red One promises to be a wild, action-packed Christmas ride unlike any other.
Entertainment and movies-and-tv are at the heart of this upcoming Christmas spectacle, as the team behind several Fast & Furious films joins forces to create a unique twist on classic holiday stories. The movie, titled Red One, promises a blend of action, comedy, and a touch of reality, aiming to offer a fresh take on the timeless story of Santa Claus.
