Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer for Red One, its festive-themed action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. The new movie, which will be released in theaters on November 15, is hoped to be the beginning of a brand new franchise that reimagines and has fun with various holiday-related mythologies.
The film stars Johnson as Callum Drift, head of security at the North Pole. When Santa Claus – the Red One of the title, played by JK Simmons – is kidnapped, Drift must team up with infamous bounty hunter Jack O’Malley (Evans) to rescue Santa and save Christmas. The trailer’s fun, although the sight of multiple evil snowmen with generous buttocks may give you nightmares like one of the best horror movies.
