Amazon MGM Sets Christmas 2027 Release for Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Lizard Music’
Amazon MGM Studios will release the live-action/CGI hybrid Lizard Music theatrically on December 25, 2027. Dwayne Johnson stars in the film, which Benny Safdie is directing. The story centers on a boy who finds a secret late-night broadcast of lizards playing otherworldly music and later meets an eccentric old man known as The Chicken Man, played by Johnson, along with his 85-year-old chicken Claudia.
Amazon MGM Studios has scheduled the film for a Christmas Day 2027 theatrical debut. The project blends live action with CGI and pairs star Dwayne Johnson with director Benny Safdie.
The narrative follows a boy, played by Theo Clark Leber, who discovers a clandestine nighttime broadcast of lizards performing strange music. His investigation introduces him to Johnson’s quirky character, The Chicken Man, and the man’s 85-year-old chicken, Claudia.
A Christmas 2027 release could position the film as holiday counterprogramming or a family event, drawing Johnson fans, Safdie followers, and audiences seeking fantastical stories. Its hybrid format may influence how Amazon MGM markets theatrical titles, potentially boosting cinema attendance during a key season. The whimsical premise may resonate with viewers who enjoy eccentric companionship tales, though actual impact remains uncertain.
