A clip from the upcoming British film Get Santa featuring Jim Broadbent has been released. The film, which will be released on December 5th in the UK, also stars Potter alum Warwick Davis (and Timothy Spall’s son, Rafe.) The film is about a father and son who team up to save Christmas once they discover Santa Claus sleeping in their garage after crashing his sleigh and finding himself on the run from the police.
It’s days before Christmas and reindeer are found running loose through the streets of London. Meanwhile an astonished 9 year-old Tom (newcomer Kit Connor) discovers Santa (Jim Broadbent) in the garden shed.
He has crash landed while test driving his new sleigh and enlists Tom and his father Steve (Rafe Spall) to help him get back to Lapland. But what happens when Santa is arrested and thrown into prison? Will Steve and Tom be able to break him out in time for Christmas?.
Get Santa is a heart-warming and funny family adventure about a father and son reconnecting to discover the magic of Christmas.
Additionally, a trailer for the film can be watched below:
In addition to Domhnall Gleeson, who will have a starring role, it has been announced today that Warwick Davis will have a part in Star Wars Episode VII! It is unknown what role(s) Warwick will play, but we can expect it to be pretty exciting.
Fans will know that Warwick was involved in the original trilogy as Wicket the Ewok (when he was just 11 years old.) He also had a short cameo in The Phantom Menace, during the Pod race for fans who want to catch a glimpse. The new film, directed by JJ Abrams, takes place 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi and will be released Dec. 18, 2015.
It has been revealed today that Warwick Davis will be hosting a brand new series of Celebrity Squares! The show starts airing on 10th September at 8pm on ITV!
