As a seasoned movie enthusiast who has spent countless winter evenings curled up with a warm cup of cocoa and a classic holiday flick, I must say that Kurt Russell’s portrayal of Santa Claus in ‘The Christmas Chronicles‘ is nothing short of magical. Having grown up watching the manly action hero in films like ‘Escape from New York’, ‘Big Trouble in Little China’, and the ‘Fast and Furious’ series, it was a delight to see him bring that same charm and swagger to the jolly old elf.
Renowned actor and action hero, known for films like “The Thing,” “Escape from New York,” “Big Trouble in Little China,” the “Fast and Furious” series, “Death Proof,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and many more, has delightfully stepped into the role of Santa Claus. His portrayal of this jolly character has become one of the top 10 holiday movies since its release in 2018. Entitled “The Grinch-like Santa,” the film sees Russell playing a rugged yet enchanting Santa, who teams up with a pair of children to rescue Christmas after his high-tech sleigh is destroyed.
Produced by Chris Columbus, who has previously worked on films like “Home Alone” and “Harry Potter”, and directed by Clay Kaytis from a script by Matt Lieberman, “The Christmas Chronicles” was warmly received upon its debut and currently ranks #9 in Netflix’s top 10 list, following titles such as the contentious religious drama “Mary”, the animated holiday offering “That Christmas”, and the festive action movie “Carry-On”.
