Kiefer Sutherland, Rebel Wilson Board Festive Sky Movie ‘Tinsel Town,’ Set for Christmas Release
Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson will star in a new Christmas comedy from Sky and Future Artists Entertainment (FAE), Tinsel Town.
Now in production on location across the north of England, the movie follows Bradley Mack (Sutherland), a Hollywood action star with a bloated ego, who is blindsided when his iconic action franchise is abruptly canceled. With his career in free fall 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, Sutherland’s character begins to discover a spark of new beginnings in the form of no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Wilson).
“I’m thrilled to be working back in the U.K. and with director Chris Foggin,” said Sutherland, star of Designated Survivor and 24. “The cast is fantastic, and I can’t wait to tell this story.”
The script, penned by Frazer Flintham, Adam Brown and Piers Ashworth, has additional material by Jake Brunger, and will be directed by Chris Foggin (Bank of Dave). Matt Williams and Pascal Degove at FAE will produce. Executive producers are Julia Stuart, Laura Grange, Piers Tempest and Martin Owen. Mister Smith is launching worldwide sales at the EFM.
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.”
