As ‘Red One’ Hits Theaters, Seven Bucks Productions Contemplates Life Beyond Dwayne Johnson
As "Red One" hits theaters, Seven Bucks Productions looks to a world beyond Dwayne Johnson's star profile.
Guided by great taste, they’ve partnered with cutting-edge creatives like Emerald Fennell and Megan Park on projects like “Saltburn” and “My Old Ass” that weren’t designed to star Robbie. One big swing comes this weekend in the form of “ Red One,” a Christmas romp that Hiram Garcia, Seven Bucks president of production, conceived as a “perennial holiday classic.” Johnson plays security chief to Saint Nick (portrayed here as a salty dog by J.K. Simmons), one whose increasing lack of faith in humanity sees him plan to retire after one last Dec. 25 outing. Johnson will star in a prestige biopic about MMA fighter Mark Kerr, with “Jungle Cruise” costar Emily Blunt and writer-director Benny Safdie.
