It is produced by Chris Columbus, (“Home Alone” & “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”).
The movie will feature Kurt Russell as Santa Claus and is telling the story of a brother/sister duo (Derby Camp and Judah Lewis) who have made it their mission to catch Father Christmas but tumble into an unexpected journey, which is the dream for most kids.
“Kurt is the definitive Santa Claus. Charismatic, tough when needed, with a wicked sense of humour. We’re really excited for audiences to see his performance onscreen and hope The Christmas Chronicles becomes a timeless classic.” said Chris Columbus.
Director Clay Kaytis added: “No one is better suited than Kurt Russell to bring our version of a rugged, charismatic, and hilarious Santa Claus to life.
From our first meeting, he completely threw himself into this iconic role – and grew an impressive beard in the process. It has been a dream come true to work with Kurt in creating what I believe will be the new definition of Santa Claus for generations to come.”
