‘Violent Night 2’: Santa and Mrs. Claus Gear Up in Over 25 New Images [Gallery]
We have over 25 new images from Violent Night 2, featuring David Harbour (Stranger Things) back as Santa Claus and Kristen Bell (Pulse) joining him as Mrs. Claus. There are behind-the-scenes photos, plenty of shots of Harbour rocking weapons, and the two looking badass together, ready for a mall battle with a bunch of goofball villains.
It looks like a silly, fun, violent good time. The first Violent Night was incredibly violent, though, and I’m still hoping the sequel delivers the gore on that same level. These images look a little more accessible—more Die Hard in a mall with David Harbour’s Santa Claus. Thankfully, it’s still rated R for “strong/bloody violence, and language.” Either way, Harbour is great, and this looks like a good time.
Returning director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) sends Santa to the Silver Bell Mall, where a gangster played by Jared Harris is terrorizing the merchants.
