Violent Night Interview: Writers Pat Casey & Josh Miller on Keeping Santa Heroic
writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller about the upcoming holiday action movie. The duo discussed David Harbour’s portrayal of Santa Claus and their thoughts on“When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint,” reads the synopsis.

The director of that Josef Fares, who has a film background, and that’s been so unique seeing his video games since he has that cinematic eye. So with that, what about that game spoke to you and made you want to adapt it?I mean, in some ways it’s the fact that it’s so obvious — at least to us and all the people involved in making it — what the premise is.
