Remember being told that if you are naughty, you will receive a lump of coal? It turns out you will likely die a horrible death. That is what is shown in the Violent Night trailer (seen below), where David Harbour is Santa Claus with John Wick-styled moves from the producers who delivered Atomic Blonde, John Wick, and Nobody.
The Violent Night trailer introduces us to an unconventional Santa Claus with David Harbour. After a quick session at the bar, we get introduced to a family held hostage for their money. When St. Nick comes down the chimney, he is ready to save the family on his nice list and take out those on his naughty list. Like the name and premise sound, it is full of violence and humor as the unlikely hero slaughters his way through those who were not nice this year.
Marc S. Fischer executive produces the action flick. Paul Barry, Guy Danella, Brandy Hagborg, David Leitch, Annie Marter, and Kelly McCormick produce.
