Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans headline the Christmas action comedy Red One which slides into multiplexes November 15th. Jake Kasdan (who’s made the last two Jumanji pics with Johnson) directs with a supporting cast including Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons (as a kidnapped Santa Claus), Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, and Nick Kroll.
Budgeted at a reported whopping $250 million, Amazon MGM hopes family audiences will turn out in droves. Early signs are that it might not be the massive hit they’re hoping for and reviews aren’t assisting. The Rotten Tomatoes meter is at 35% with Metacritic at 37.
