Dwayne Johnson reunites with Jumanji director Jake Kasdan for Christmas film

To add a little more joviality to the holiday season Dwayne Johnson is yet again teaming up with Jumanji director Jake Kasdan for an upcoming Christmas themed film for Amazon. The upcoming holiday feature, tentatively titled Red One, will also have Kasdan on board as producer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is touted to be an adventure comedy which will explore brand new territory within the genre of holiday themed comedies. Although plot details are being kept under wraps, the film might see Johnson step into the snow clad shoes of Santa Claus himself.

Kasdan, who has collaborated with Johnson on the films Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel Jumanji: The Next Level, will also serve as producer on Red One.

The upcoming movie will have a script penned by Chris Morgan, who will also produce the film. Morgan has also collaborated with Johnson previously, serving as writer on films in the popular Fast and the Furious franchise.

Johnson will also be a producer on the film, along with Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. The latter two are attached to Johnson’s production house, Seven Bucks Productions.
