Spoilers for Disney+’s Dashing Via the Snow are talked about forward, so learn with warning.
Amid the smattering of 2023 new film releases, there are a couple of Christmas motion pictures on the schedule which have (or are set to) hit the scene. One of many newest is Dashing Via the Snow, which is a vacation romp starring Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Lil Rel Howery within the lead roles. The movie is comparatively self-contained however, by the top of it, one can’t assist however get the sensation {that a} sequel might nonetheless be made. Because it so occurs, Bridges confirmed to CinemaBlend completely that he would like to star in a follow-up in some unspecified time in the future. Howery, then again, has an concept for an additional vacation film team-up, and I’d positively be right down to see it.
I used to be in a position to communicate with the 2 actors about their work on the film earlier than it turned obtainable to Disney+ subscribers. Throughout our Zoom interview on the junket, I couldn’t assist however ask in the event that they believed Dashing Via the Snow 2 might change into a actuality. When confronted with that prospect, Ludacris conveyed lots of enthusiasm over it. The fan-favorite entertainer appears to consider {that a} second movie might inject one thing contemporary into this would-be franchise:
I am hoping for a sequel. I am hoping there is a Dashing 2, as a result of though the movie – in my view – is nice, it will get phenomenal in the direction of the top of this film, proper? And in order that feeling you need that to hold on, as a result of it takes on a complete new life, and I really feel like that may very well be a complete new life in a complete different film.
The Tim Story-directed Christmas flick facilities on social employee Eddie Garrick (Ludacris), who needs nothing greater than for the vacation season to be over. The spirit of the season hits him in a giant manner, although after he and his younger daughter, Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum), cross paths with a mysterious man named Nick (Lil Rel Howery). The red-suited stranger, who claims to be Santa Claus, takes the 2 on a wild journey, throughout which they need to evade a corrupt politician’s thugs. The trio are in the end profitable in exposing the villains’ wrongdoing, and Nick – who seems to be the actual Kris Kringle – restores Eddie’s yuletide pleasure and helps him reconcile together with his estranged spouse.
A sequel might completely concentrate on the continued friendship between Eddie and Nick and see them get into extra shenanigans. Nevertheless, Lil Rel Howery has one other concept. The comic, who was solid after Kevin Hart needed to cross on enjoying Santa, revealed to us that he needs to make a Father’s Day movie together with his co-star subsequent, and his concept sounds wild:
Dude, I believe it’s a Father’s Day film we should always do. We discovered a pair different dads, they usually go on a dad journey. Like these fathers get pissed off by not getting nothing on Father’s Day and determine to make a journey. … Don’t steal that. That’s an awesome pitch and concept.
I imply… can somebody please make that film? It’d most likely be a far cry from the nice and cozy (and kid-friendly) movie the 2 stars simply made, but it surely may very well be a very good time on the motion pictures for adults. Humorous sufficient, the Get Out star does have loads of expertise with motion pictures that revolve round folks on the highway or taking journeys. He’s starred in each of the Trip Pals movies (which might be streamed utilizing a Hulu subscription) and the prank film Dangerous Journey, on which he and co-star Eric André tried a prank involving Chris Rock. Ludacris appeared to be recreation for his co-star’s pitch, saying:
We’d like a Father’s Day film like The Hangover however Father’s Day – 24 hours.
You may’t persuade me {that a} studio wouldn’t no less than contemplate this concept, particularly if the 2 main males are concerned. They appear to have constructed stable rapport with one another, and it might be enjoyable to see them push the envelope in an adult-oriented comedy. And if that doesn’t occur, then I’m positive loads of folks could be completely content material with them reteaming for a Dashing sequel.
Dashing Via the Snow remains to be streaming alongside some nice authentic motion pictures on Disney+.
