KRIS KRINGLE: ACTION HERO

SCREENPLAY

If I said “Die Hard meets Gremlins in Santa’s Workshop” what would you think?  I LOVE this origin story for Father Christmas, partly because I love Christmas (I have actually been known by the moniker ‘Steven Christmas’, which makes me happy).

Did you know that 400 years ago Kristopher Kringle was a bad-ass warrior in Northern Europe who saved so many kids from an evil child-capturing monster that he was sainted as protector of children and ‘Father of Christmas’? 

Me neither, but that’s the level Galluzzo and I turned the fun dial up to, and when in the present day, the monster returns and invades Santa’s grotto, the aging veteran needs to put down the nutmeg and pick up the nunchucks. Oh, and did I mention it contains psycho-ninja teddy bears?
