Production has now commenced in the UK for the Keifer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson Sky original festive comedy, Tinsel Town.
Emmy Award-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor, 24) and actress, writer and producer Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect, JoJo Rabbit) have boarded Sky and Future Artists Entertainment’s (FAE) charming and hilarious festive project Tinsel Town. The film is now in production on location across the North of England and at Leeds’ Versa Studios.
PREMISE
Bradley Mack (Kiefer Sutherland), a Hollywood action star with an inflated ego, finds himself blindsided when the studio unexpectedly cancels his iconic action franchise. 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 (Rebel Wilson). What starts as a professional disaster soon blossoms into an unforgettable, heartwarming journey of second chances. Surprising friendships, and festive magic in this hilarious Christmas comedy.
Frazer Flintham, Adam Brown, and Piers Ashworth wrote the script.h. With additional material by Jake Brunger. Chris Foggin, who directed “Bank of Dave,” will take charge of the film. Matt Williams and Pascal Degove at FAE will produce. Executive Producers are Julia Stuart, Laura Grange, Piers Tempest and Martin Owen.
