David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Beverly D’Angelo, Alex Hassell and Alexis Louder are set to star in the Christmas action movie, “Violent Night” for Universal Pictures.
Tommy Wirkola (“Dead Snow,” “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”) direct while David Leitch, Kelly McCormick and Guy Danella are producing. Patrick Casey and Josh Miller (“Sonic the Hedgehog”) penned the script and filming is underway in Winnipeg.
The story begins on Christmas Eve at the estate of a rich but divided and squabbling family. A group of hardened mercenaries attack the mansion and it will be up to a disillusioned Santa (Harbour) to dispense lumps of coal in a bone-crunching way.
Leguizamo is the leader of the mercs while D’Angelo is the family matriarch. Hassell is one of her grown children and Louder is his estranged wife.
