Los Angeles, Nov 11 (TIWN) Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson will not be playing Santa in his festive film 'Red One', his Seven Bucks Productions colleague Hiram Garcia has revealed.

Hiram told Slash Film: "It's funny, he's not playing Santa. For some reason, everyone thinks he's playing Santa, but he's playing something really awesome.  "We're really excited about it. It's the movie we're looking to film next year. We're thrilled to have Jake Kasdan to direct it, because he is such a master in that space and the tone we're wanting to do."  Hiram added that the new movie will turn the festive genre "on its head" and will be something completely different for viewers.  He said: "It is very much 'Hobbs and Shaw' meets 'Guardians of the Galaxy' meets 'Miracle on 34th Street'. It's going to take holiday mythology and turn it on its head. Really, it's hard to find another Christmas movie to even compare to it.
