Red One: Movie Overview
Red One is an upcoming American Christmas action-adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris Morgan, from an original story by Hiram Garcia. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel, and J. K. Simmons. Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia, Morgan, Kasdan, and Melvin Mar are the film’s producers.
The project is seen as the first of a potential franchise, Christmas mythology, produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Seven Bucks Productions, Chris Morgan Productions, and The Detective Agency.
Red One is scheduled to be released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on November 15, 2024.
Callum Drift, the head of North Pole security, must team up with Jack O’Malley, a bounty hunter, to find and rescue Santa Claus after he gets kidnapped.
Red One was originally scheduled to be released on Prime Video worldwide in time for Christmas 2023. The release was delayed from December 20, 2023, until November 15, 2024, with the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike cited as the reason, along with the film now getting a worldwide theatrical release. Amazon MGM will distribute it in the United States, while Warner Bros. Pictures will handle the film’s international release.
Footage of Red One was first shown at CinemaCon to journalists selected by Johnson’s publicist, but they were not allowed to write about what they saw.
