Camille Griffin’s directorial debut, Silent Night is set to premiere at the upcoming Fantastic Fest this month, and we’ve just learned that it’s been acquired by AMC+ and RLJE Films.
Keira Knightley stars in the “darkly comedic drama,” which makes its U.S. Premiere at Fantastic Fest. The World Premiere will be taking place at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Silent Night is set to be released in theaters and stream exclusively on AMC+ in North America this December.
The film, focusing on a group of friends that comes together for an eventful Christmas dinner, stars Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, Annabelle Wallis, Lily-Rose Depp, Ṣọpé Dìrísù, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Lucy Punch, Rufus Jones and Trudie Styler among others.
From producers Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman franchise), Trudie Styler (Moon) and Celine Rattray (The Kids Are Alright), Silent Night follows a group of old friends who – in true British fashion and while the rest of the world faces impending doom – reunite to celebrate Christmas in the comfort of an idyllic country home. Burdened with the inconvenience of mankind’s imminent destruction, they adopt a stiff upper lip, crack open another bottle of prosecco and continue with their festivities. But no amount of stoicism can replace the courage needed for their last night on Earth.
