The Plot of Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans’ Upcoming Christmas Movie
Not a lot of details have been released about Red One‘s plot so far, but certain hints are given by producer Hiram Garcia. In an interview with Deadline, Garcia shared some details Christmas adventure. She said:
“Red One is incredibly special to me and a story I’ve wanted to tell for years. An epic, edge-of- your seat, action-adventure that takes beloved holiday mythology and turns it on its head. I’m thrilled to have our Seven Bucks team join forces with Amazon to bring this fun Holiday tale to life for a global audience.”
Dwayne Johnson also shared a few key details on his Instagram page. He went on saying and described the film:
“Think Jumanji meets Miracle on 34th Street meets Hobbs & Shaw with a dash of Harry Potter and sprinkled on top with my all-time favorite Christmas movie, It’s A Wonderful Life… let all that sink in.”
Although we can’t predict much from The Rock’s post. but it sounds like the film swoops into the fantasy world, with taking Harry Potter and Jumanji as inspiration. Miracle on 34th Street and It’s A Wonderful Life focus on Christmas (which denotes the genre of the movie), while Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw probably means the type of action we can expect.
