“Jumanji” sequel helmer Jake Kasdan will reunite with Dwayne Johnson for the Christmas-themed feature “Red One” at Amazon Studios.
Johnson is attached to star, possibly as Santa himself, and is producing with his usual partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Kasdan will direct and produce.
The project is dubbed a “globe-trotting, four-quadrant action-adventure comedy, imagining a whole new universe to explore within the holiday genre”.
Chris Morgan, who penned much of the “Fast and Furious” franchise, will pen the script. Shooting will begin next year for a Holiday 2023 release.
The film aims to shoot in 2022 with a 2023 holiday release.
