Reading their feelings about the upcoming movie is beyond adorable.
(I cant believe Im finally doing a Christmas movie!)
Hey, if theyre having fun, then maybe itll turn out great.
Thats the hope, right?
Maybe well love it as much as they do.
They arent the only ones on the cast list.
Its not just Evans and Johnson in the film, of course.
And if you ever wanted to see J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) as Santa Claus, youre in luck.
It just started filming.
Filming forRed Onehas only just begun.
According toIMDb, theyre filming in Atlanta, Georgia.
Its been written for the screen by Chris Morgan of theFast and Furioussaga.
Its an Amazon Original…And they want it to be a franchise.
It looks like they have no plans forRed Oneto hit the big screen.
Instead, its coming to streaming as an Amazon Original.
Even more interesting than that is their desire to turn this into a franchise.
If it pulls big streaming numbers, Amazon will be a lot more likely to make more.
Sadly, well have to wait for next Christmas.
Since theyve only just now started filming, its too late for it to have a Christmas 2022 release.
As of now, they have it listed for a 2023, most likely during next holiday season.
