  • “Red One” Starring Dwayne Johnson Brings Holiday Magic and Action to Cinemas on November 6!

    “Red One” Starring Dwayne Johnson Brings Holiday Magic and Action to Cinemas on November 6!

    Dwayne Johnson is excited about the upcoming holiday season, and he’s bringing his holiday cheer to the big screen! In the new Christmas action-comedy Red One, premiering in Philippine cinemas on November 6, Johnson stars alongside Chris Evans in an all-out adventure to save Christmas after Santa (played by J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped.

    Red One production still

    “We love all holiday films,” says Johnson, who plays Cal Drift, head of Santa’s elite security team. “The classics like Miracle on 34th Street and It’s a Wonderful Life, as well as contemporary favorites like Elf and Bad Santa – “The classics like ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ as well as the contemporary favorites like ‘Elf’ and ‘Bad Santa,’” he continues. “We all love them for the same reason: they bring us back to that warm feeling of being with friends and family, the time of year when life slows down for a minute. And there’s nothing better than watching a great Christmas movie with the people you love.”

    A Festive Adventure With Heart

    In Red One, Johnson’s character, Cal Drift, heads Santa’s security unit known as the E.L.F. (Enforcement, Logistics, and Fortification). He’s worked alongside Santa for centuries, dedicated to spreading joy every year. But when Santa is kidnapped, Cal teams up with Jack O’Malley, played by Chris Evans. Jack, a mercenary and “world’s greatest tracker,” represents everything Cal dislikes about adults. Together, they embark on a thrilling, laugh-out-loud journey to rescue Santa and save Christmas for everyone.

    An All-Star Cast Brings Christmas Magic to Life

    The film’s stellar lineup includes Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, and Wesley Kimmel. Each character brings their unique charm, humor, and Christmas spirit to this festive, action-packed tale.

    Chris Evans describes his character, Jack, as a bit of a “rascal” who’s struggling to reconnect with his family. “And it’s always fun to play a rascal! But in his personal life he’s struggling,” says Evans. “He has a son that he neglects. Aside from his family struggles, he’s lost that Christmas spirit. He works by himself and moves through the world by himself. That loneliness has made him a bit ossified.”

    Screenwriter Chris Morgan says the chemistry between Johnson and Evans is undeniable: “When we put Dwayne and Chris together for the first time, that energy was immediate. They sparked off each other. They just started riffing and cutting on each other, one-upping and generally having fun at each other’s expense. We knew we had a special dynamic right there.”

    Enter the Magical World of “Wicked” – Premiering in Philippine Cinemas on November 20!

    The magic of Oz is coming to life! Universal Pictures unveils an exciting behind-the-scenes look at Wicked, the cinematic adaptation of the beloved stage musical, giving fans a peek into the journey of bringing this spellbinding story to the big screen. Set to premiere in Philippine cinemas on November 20, Wicked promises a breathtaking, immersive experience unlike any other.

    Oz land

    “Oz is a Place of Endless Possibilities,” Says Jon M. Chu

    Renowned director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) invites audiences to experience the magic of Oz in a whole new way. “Oz represents a place of magic, so to be able to invite an audience into this beautiful world is exciting,” Chu shares. This adaptation is the first installment of a two-part cinematic experience, with Wicked Part Two scheduled for release in 2025.

    Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande Bring Iconic Roles to Life

    Cynthia Erivo, an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning actress, takes on the role of Elphaba, the misunderstood witch with a powerful destiny. For Erivo, feels that Oz is the land of endless possibilities. “The things you think are impossible, the things you are dreaming about, aren’t impossible at all,” she says. This theme of inner potential and self-discovery lies at the heart of Wicked.

    Alongside Erivo is global music sensation Ariana Grande as Glinda, who also seeks to uncover her own inner magic. Grande explains, “Glinda, just like Elphaba, just wants to find her magic,” she says. Erivo also talks about the power within Elphaba. “It isn’t about relying on someone else, it really is about harnessing the power she has, and figuring out how to use that to do good the way she needs to,” she says. The evolving relationship between these two powerful yet conflicted characters brings a fresh depth to the story, exploring how each discovers their unique purpose in a complex world.

    A Spellbinding Ensemble Cast

    The film’s cast includes Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as the dashing Fiyero, and Ethan Slater as the kind-hearted Boq. Jeff Goldblum takes on the legendary role of the Wizard, bringing his signature flair to this pivotal character. New faces and familiar favorites populate this vibrant world, including Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, and Peter Dinklage, all adding their unique touches to Oz.

    The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

    Adapted from Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel and the iconic stage production by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, Wicked tells the story of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy arrived. Audiences will discover the untold history of these two women who come to terms with power, purpose, and friendship in a world where “nothing is just one dimension,” as Erivo puts it.

    This highly anticipated adaptation is produced by industry giants Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid) and David Stone (Next to Normal), with original creators Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman on board to bring the story to life on screen.
