Violent Night - Official Trailer

Violent Night - Official Trailer
Only in Theaters December 2
To hell with “all is calm.”
From 87North, the bare-knuckle producers of Nobody, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw comes a holiday action-comedy that says you should always bet on red.
When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour, Black Widow, Stranger Things series) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.
The film also stars Emmy winner John Leguizamo (John Wick), Cam Gigandet (Without Remorse), Alex Hassell (Cowboy Bebop), Alexis Louder (The Tomorrow War), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones) and Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise).
Directed by razor-edged Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow franchise), Violent Night is produced by 87North’s Kelly McCormick David Leitch and Guy Danella. The original screenplay is by Pat Casey & Josh Miller, the writers of Sonic the Hedgehog. The film’s executive producer is Marc S. Fischer.
Universal Pictures will distribute the film in all territories.

A movie destined to be a Christmas classic. The trailer is not selling a movie trying to be something that is not, it's selling exactly what people want for the holiday season, a fun adventure, but with blood, violence, and lots of action.

I actually had a similar idea where yes, some very violent guys perennially come for Santa. You think he's not bad arse, you think over the years he hasn't seen everything any shmoe has tried on him, you don't think he'd totally murk your arse? That was my line of thinking. Decades, perhaps hundreds of years, trained hunters, soldiers, special ops guys, of course a few Martians must have tried to shoot their shot at him. Now I'm thinking, "Shit.
