J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and Wesley Kimmel also star in the film.

The Rock, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia from Seven Bucks Productions, as well as Amazon MGM Studios, will produce the film while Chris Morgan will produce in addition to overseeing the script.

Johnson previously described it in an Instagram post by noting, “Our movie is a big, fun, action-packed, and fresh new take on Christmas. Think JUMANJI meets MIRACLE ON 34TH ST meets HOBBS & SHAW with a dash of HARRY POTTER and sprinkled on top with my all-time favorite Christmas movie, ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE…”

The movie will be filmed in 2022, with a planned 2023 holiday release before that was pushed back.

Deadline reported today that the film will get an exclusive global theatrical release on Nov. 15, 2024, before being added to Amazon Prime.
