Violent Night – What We Know So Far

David Harbour of “Stranger Things” will be heading up “Violent Night,” playing the role of Santa Claus himself. 

Per IMDb, the film will not stint on star power. Rounding out the supporting cast are two legends from the ’90s: John Leguizamo of “Romeo + Juliet” and “Encanto” fame is set to appear as Ben, and Beverly D’Angelo from National Lampoon’s “Vacation” franchise will be showing up as Anne. Brendan Fletcher, who had a stint on the CW’s “Arrow,” will apparently be playing Krampus, the infamous folkloric figure who punishes children who have misbehaved during the year. 

Elsewhere in the film expect to see “Knives Out” co-star Edi Patterson, “Twilight” actor Cam Gigandet, and Alex Hassell, who plays Translucent on “The Boys,” among others. The movie is directed by Tommy Wirkola, known for other winter-set action horror films “Dead Snow” and “Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead.” The script comes courtesy of Pat Casey and Josh Miller.
