Emmy-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland, best known for his roles in '24,' 'Designated Survivor,' and 'The Fugitive,' is taking on a lighter role in his latest film, 'Tinsel Town.' The upcoming holiday comedy pairs Sutherland with Rebel Wilson and has just unveiled its first trailer, ahead of its release in theatres and on demand on 28th November.
What is Kiefer Sutherland's 'Tinsel Town' About?
Produced by Brainstorm Media, 'Tinsel Town' follows the story of a former Hollywood action star who has seen better days. Seeking a fresh start, he accepts a role in a small English village's Christmas pageant. With the guidance of a straightforward choreographer and an eccentric local cast, he begins to rediscover his passion for performance—and reconnects with his estranged daughter in the process.
About 'Tinsel Town' Trailer
In the trailer, Sutherland's character, Bradley Mack, faces the harsh reality of fading fame when he’s told that the industry no longer wants to hire him. Left with few options, he takes a job at a struggling English theatre just in time for the holidays. Upon arriving, Bradley is less than impressed by the low-budget production but soon finds himself drawn into the chaos and charm of the community. Rebel Wilson's character pushes him to take the project seriously, insisting that there's little time to pull the show together before Christmas.
Bradley's arrogance and Hollywood habits clash with his new surroundings—at one point, he complains about the production's quality and demands someone "call him a car," only to be humorously misunderstood by the local cast.
As the story unfolds, he discovers that his ex-wife and daughter are also living in England, setting the stage for an emotional reunion. His daughter challenges him to reflect on his selfish ways, leading Bradley to finally realise how much he values his family and the unexpected joy the small-town play brings.
