Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson are set to star in a new Christmas comedy film project, Tinsel Town, for from Sky and Future Artists Entertainment.
In Tinsel Town, “Sutherland plays Bradley Mack, a Hollywood action star with a bloated ego who is blindsided when his iconic action franchise is abruptly canceled.
“With his career in freefall and worried his Hollywood days are behind him, he heads to England, hoping to rebuild his image as a serious actor on the West End. But his long-suffering agent has other plans, sending Bradley instead to a small, snow-dusted village to star in the town’s eccentric production of ‘Cinderella.’
“As he fumbles through rehearsals with a colourful cast of oddball locals, Bradley begins to discover a spark of new beginnings in the form of no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Wilson).”
The movie will be directed by Chris Foggin (Bank of Dave) from a script written by Frazer Flintham, Adam Brown and Piers Ashworth.
Sutherland said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to be working back in the UK and with director Chris Foggin. The cast is fantastic, and I can’t wait to tell this story.”
Wilson added: “I love British Christmas movies — because in Australia we’re just on the beach having a BBQ – and so now I feel like I get to have a classic British Christmas – freezing my t***s off but laughing and sledding all the way!”
Julia Stuart, Director of Original Film at Sky said: “We are so proud of this uplifting and charming comedy, and we can’t wait for it to come to Sky Cinema this Christmas. It’s feel-good, festive and funny, and we hope will have something for everyone to enjoy.”
Matt Williams of Future Artists Entertainment said: “Continuing our long-standing successful Sky relationship in assembling the best of British talent in front and behind the camera, I am unbelievably excited to deliver this hilarious and heartwarming Christmas Comedy to the screen.
“Tinsel Town is sure to join the pantheon of classic Christmas films, and I am thrilled we have gathered such an incredible ensemble of British talent led by the incredible Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson.”
Tinsel Town will be coming to Sky Cinema at Christmas 2025.
