‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ – First Look at Rohan Campbell as Our Killer Santa Plus Release Date!
From Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and director Mike P. Nelson, the brand new Silent Night, Deadly Night reboot has kicked off production in Winnipeg, Manitoba this week.
Earlier this week, Bloody Disgusting announced the casting of Ruby Modine as Pamela and Rohan Campbell as protagonist Billy Chapman. We can also announce this morning that the film also stars Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown, and David Tomlinson.
The biggest news? Silent Night, Deadly Night will be released in theaters this coming holiday season, with the release date for the holiday slasher set for December 12, 2025!
The news – and above first-look image – was first announced by Deadline this morning.
Crew for the film, a fresh new take on the ’80s slasher classic, includes Director of Photography Nick Junkersfeld, Production Designer Oscar Fenogolio, Costume Designer Laura DeLuca, Stunt Coordinator Kristen Sawatzky, Special Effects Doug Morrow, Casting Director Jim Heber, Composers Blitz Berlin, and Line Producer Tanya Brunel.
The reboot of the franchise, Silent Night, Deadly Night is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85) and produced by the original 1984 Tri-Star film’s producers Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead and New Dimension’s Jamie R. Thompson (Old Henry, Gunslingers), Rebel 6’s Erik Bernard, and White Bear Films’ Jeremy Torrie, with executive producers Steven Schneider (Insidious), Anthony Masi (Halloween: 25 Years of Terror, Unknown Dimension), and Sarah Eilts.
Cineverse Chief Content Office Yolanda Macias said in a statement, “As production officially kicks off this week, we are excited about the magic that is being made with both the original team behind the 1984 classic teaming up with a new vision from Mike P. Nelson. We are delighted to welcome fans back into the Silent Night, Deadly Night universe with a reimagining that is sure to bring lots of merry mayhem.”
“Silent Night, Deadly Night has become a beloved cult classic since my partner Dennis and I created it with Michael Hickey over 40 years ago,” said original SNDN and reboot producer Scott Schneid. “Den and I are huge fans of Mike’s work, and his unique talents have reinvented the spirit of the original, taking us on a slay ride that audiences won’t soon forget.”
When it was released in 1984, the first Silent Night, Deadly Night quickly became the most controversial movie of the year. In a series of letters, parents demanded the film be pulled from theaters. Tri-Star, the film’s original distributor, responded to all the outrage by doing just that – an act that would ensure SNDN’s place in the halls of horror film infamy. In an instant, Silent Night, Deadly Night transformed from just another slasher film to a veritable cult classic, the very people who sought to banish it from existence serving to make it one of the most must-see horror films of the entire decade.
Brandon Hill & Brad Miska (Terrifier 3) oversee for Cineverse and will executive produce alongside Erick Opeka and Yolanda Macias, Bondit Media Capital’s Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor. Financing by Bondit Media Capital and Royal Bank of Canada. StudioCanal is handling worldwide sales excluding North America releasing theatrically in StudioCanal markets (UK & IRE, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Benelux and Poland). Silent Night, Deadly Night is the first acquisition for StudioCanal’s new in-house genre label Sixth Dimension.
