David Harbour recently took to social media to tease Violent Night 2, which was announced almost two years ago. Tommy Wirkola is returning to direct the holiday action-thriller, and it looks like it’s about ready to go into production.
Harbour recently posted a photo with Santa Claus and a caption that reads: “Merry Xmas, ya filthy animals.” But it’s what he’s holding in his hand that is telling… the completed script for Violent Night 2.
In Violent Night, “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.”
Wirkola talked about the sequel last year, saying: “There’s stuff we left on the floor like the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, the elves. But story-wise, I think we have a really, really cool idea that expands on the world and scope but still keeping that tone that we love from the first one.”
Violent Night producer Kelly McCormick previously shared: “But the development’s going super well and everybody’s really, really excited about moving those worlds forward.“
Pat Casey and Josh Miller will also came back to write the script Violent Night 2.
