‘Red One' Trailer: Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans Team Up to Rescue a Kidnapped Santa Claus in Prime Video's Christmas Action Movie
It's Christmas in June!
Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer for the yuletide action-adventure "Red One," starring Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans and J.K. Simmons as Saint Nick.
Per the official synopsis, "After Santa Claus (Simmons) – Code Name: ‘Red One' – is kidnapped, the North Pole's Head of Security (Johnson) must team up with the world's most infamous bounty hunter (Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas."
In the trailer, Johnson takes an ordinary Hot Wheels car from a toy store and turns it into a full-sized Chevy Corvette using some space-aged Christmas technology. "You don't have a Wonder Woman action figure, do you?" Evans asks the cashier while leaving the store. "Not how it works, come on!" Johnson barks in response.
Other cast members include Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll and Wesley Kimmel.
Johnson revealed the poster for "Red One" Monday morning, which resembles a wanted poster for Simmons' Santa. "All points alert to everyone around the world- be on the lookout for this man. Last seen at the North Pole. If you have any information, please reach out to the E.L.F. North Pole Command Center via the number on the bottom of this official ‘Red One' poster. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Christmas depends on it. And Nick, buddy, if you're reading this- I will find you. ~ Callum Drift, Commander of The E.L.F," Johnson wrote.
Jake Kasdan, director of the "Jumanji" reboots, helms the film. Chris Morgan wrote the script based on a story by Hiram Garcia. Producers include Hiram Garcia, Danny Garcia, Johnson, Morgan, Kasdan and Melvin Mar.
"Red One" hit theaters Nov. 15. Watch the trailer below.
