Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow) is back with the bloody new movie Violent Night, and the official trailer has come down the chimney today.
Violent Night stars David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) as an ass-kicking Santa Claus, and Universal will be releasing the holiday movie wide in theaters on December 2, 2022.
Violent Night was compared to Die Hard by David Harbour at CinemaCon earlier this year, the film centered on Harbour’s Santa Claus rescuing a family that’s been taken hostage. It’s being described as a violent action-comedy, with John Leguizamo playing the villain!
In the film, “A team of elite mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage. But the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (Harbour) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.”
Beverly D’Angelo (Christmas Vacation), Alex Haskell and Alexis Louder are also in the upcoming Focus Features movie, starring alongside Edi Patterson and Cam Gigandet.
Pat Casey and Josh Miller (Sonic) wrote the movie.
Kelly McCormick and David Leitch produced for 87North.
