Is Red One Director Planning To Change The Definition Of Christmas Forever? Read What Jake Kasdan Has To Say

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the Red One is shaping up to be a holiday blockbuster like no other. Having had the privilege of watching trailers and interviews with the cast and crew, it’s clear that this movie will deliver an action-packed, laugh-out-loud comedy experience that will warm even the coldest winter nights.


In the preview of “The Red One,” viewers could tell that the film was intended to be a festive production. This sentiment was echoed by its director, Jake Kasdan, who has revealed the underlying concept guiding his new action-comedy project and the unique pairing of actors who had never worked together before in this genre.

In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Kasdan discussed his intentions for Red One to become a timeless holiday classic, but with an added edge and intensity.

During the interview, the director shared insights into how he joined this particular project. According to reports, it was Dwayne Johnson who contacted Kasdan to discuss how his producing partner Hiram Garcia had conceived the concept for an “adventurous Christmas action film.

Johnson made it clear to Kasdan that the film would be set in our everyday world, but would also incorporate elements tied to a legendary universe.

In reference to the actor, who previously collaborated with him on films like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its follow-up Jumanji: The Next Level, Kasdan expressed that Dwayne Johnson stands out as a unique cinematic figure.

The director continued by stating that specific characters are exclusively suited for Johnson. Furthermore, Kasdan drew a parallel between Dwayne Johnson’s character in Jumanji (Bravestone) and Cal from Red One, describing them as having some resemblance.

Kasdan expressed his thoughts on the movie, stating that The Red One would reveal the authentic essence of Christmas, contrasting it with the perception one might have had about it since childhood.

He even appreciated the acting talent of JK Simmons, who will play St. Nick, aka the Red One, in the movie, calling the star a perfect fit for this role. 

The film “Red One” promises to heat up winter evenings this coming Christmas, featuring alongside Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, and Lucy Liu on screen.

In our upcoming storyline, you’ll find the Rampage actor portraying the role of Commanding Officer at the North Pole, Callum Drift. However, he’ll need to adapt to Evan’s character, Jack O’Malley, who is known as the world’s most wanted bounty hunter.

According to Garcia’s original tale, Chris Morgan is the one who wrote the script for the upcoming movie. The release date for this film, titled “Red One,” is set for November 15, 2024.
