    “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.”

  • Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves Lead Voice Cast of “DC League of Super-Pets”

    In “DC League of Super-Pets,” Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack—Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel—to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the Super Heroes.

    In addition to bringing together some of the DC Universe’s biggest names, the film boasts a huge casting coup as well, with the one and only Dwayne Johnson as Krypto, together again with Kevin Hart as Ace—no dynamic duo plays off each other better and who but Johnson and Hart banter with such a biting wit?

    Johnson, who also serves as a producer on the film under his Seven Bucks banner, observes, “When you think about the conceit of what this is, about the pets of these Super Heroes, and the fact it has never been done before in cinema history!?  That is pretty remarkable, considering the genre of superheroes films as a whole.  What kind of pets would your favorite DC Super-Heroes have, from Superman to Wonder Woman to Batman to Flash to Green Lantern?  So, when I first heard the idea, I was in without hesitation, 100%.  And when you think about the players—from Warner Bros. to DC, and the love that we at [our production company] Seven Bucks Productions have for the superhero genre and for animation as well—we jumped at the partnership and the opportunity.”

    Dwayne Johnson

    Hart’s Ace is the de facto leader of the shelter pack.  The actor was drawn to the story right away, noting, “It’s a big movie with big characters.  I feel like there are so many moments throughout the script where the verbiage on the page popped, and they put the right people into those positions and the material just blows you away—they did a great job casting.  That’s what you want on a movie like this—to be part of an amazing ensemble that feels special.  You really feel, ‘Hey, we got something here.’”

    The ensemble that the filmmakers assembled to voice the four-legged reluctant heroes and delightfully villainous baddies featured in the film include Vanessa Bayer as potbellied pig PB, Diego Luna as scaredy squirrel Chip, Natasha Lyonne as vision-impaired turtle Merton, Kate McKinnon as evil genius guinea pig Lulu, with Lulu’s main mutant guinea pig recruits, Keith and Mark, voiced by Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz.

    Kevin Hart

    For the film’s two-legged heroes, John Krasinski voices Krypto’s bestie and Metropolis’s own Clark Kent, aka Superman, and Olivia Wilde is the voice of his sweetheart, Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane.  The Justice League members seen and heard in the film are Batman, voiced by Keanu Reeves; Wonder Woman, by Jameela Jamil; Aquaman, by Jemaine Clement; The Flash by John Early; Green Lantern by Dascha Polanco; and Cyborg by Daveed Diggs.

    “In an animated movie, the most important thing is that the actor’s voice is the perfect voice for the character, but we got lucky that they also happened to be huge movie stars,” director Jared Stern smiles.

    Amidst all the high-flying action and adventure, the film also touches on the importance of friendship and family—and emphasizes that anyone’s real superpower, no matter how many legs you stand on, is being true to yourself.
