Liev Schreiber To Star in "A Christmas Carol Meets John Wick" Action-Thriller THE GUNS OF CHRISTMAS PAST
Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) is going to take on the lead role in an upcoming action-thriller titled The Guns Of Christmas Past, which is described as being “A Christmas Carol meets John Wick“.
The movie is being directed by Xavier Gens (Gangs Of London) and the story follows Ebb, “a former hitman for the mob, brought out from hiding when his former best friend and partner is killed. Ebb penetrates the compound of his enemy to exact revenge but the ghosts of past, present and future all arrive to thwart his plans.”
So, that sounds like it could be a lot of fun! Gens said in a statement: “I am excited to work with Liev and XYZ Films and bring a modern design style to this unique and original script. I hope to follow in the tradition of classic holiday action movies like Die Hard, and create a really fun film that audiences will come back to year after year.”
XYZ Films added: “Coming from XYZ, and given our experience delivering a fresh approach to action through such films as our Raid franchise, we see this as an action franchise vehicle akin to the breakout film Nobody, which was an enormous success.”
The script for the movie comes from Andrew Hilton and it’s being produced by Navid McIlhargey and Erik Olsen. XYZ will be shopping the project at the upcoming Cannes market.
