A new trailer has been released for “Red One,” a fantasy Christmas family action adventure comedy blockbuster about rescuing Santa Claus, brought to you by the strongest tag team of Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in “The Avengers,” and Dwayne Johnson from the “Jumanji” series. This Christmas, it looks like a big adventure awaits.
In this film, a man (Dwayne Johnson) who is the head of security at the North Pole teams up with the world’s most notorious bounty hunter (Chris Evans) to rescue Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons), who has been kidnapped by someone and goes by the code name “Red One.” The two will engage in action that will take them all over the world.
Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans) is returning home to a winter town as Christmas approaches. He is captured by a mysterious agent who has been waiting for him at home, and when he wakes up, he finds himself taken to the North Pole. Zoe, who tells him, “Welcome to the North Pole,” is played by Lucy Liu, who is well known for her roles in “Charlie’s Angels” and the “Kill Bill” series.
Zoe says that Santa Claus, codenamed “Red One,” was kidnapped last night. Jack is asked to take on a mission to locate Santa. “I’ll act alone,” Jack says, trying to remain a lone wolf, when Calum Drift, played by Dwayne Johnson, appears before him. He is the leader of a special forces unit with a quirky name, the E.L.F. Task Force. “I can tell from my gut that I don’t like you,” Jack says.
When Drift calls out to Garcia, who seems to be a bad match for him, a giant polar bear that walks and talks like a human appears. This is the moment when the fantasy elements of this movie are expressed.
Drift guides them to a portal hidden inside a toy store. While traveling through the portal, the two get hold of the famous Hot Wheels miniature car. They place it on the street, and when Drift shines a ray of light from the device on his arm, the miniature car turns into a gigantic real car! “How on earth…?” Omari is surprised. “I adjusted it to the real world.” “That means…?” “No, it doesn’t work on everything. No, you can’t use it. No, you can’t drive it. No more questions. Get in.”
The two set out on a dangerous journey to save Santa. They encounter winter monsters they’ve never seen before, including a beast-man who looks strong and a militant snowman who throws snow crystal shuriken. There’s only 24 hours until Christmas. Can the two find Santa Claus and protect Christmas peace?
Filled with gadgets that embody childhood dreams and a succession of fantastical creatures, the stimulating Red One will be released in US theaters on November 7, 2024. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, directed by Jake Kasdan of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and produced by Dwayne and Kasdan, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia from Seven Bucks Productions, Dwayne’s production company.
