Christmas Ransom Premieres 1 December 2022 on Stan

Published

on


With the release of the brand-new original film Christmas Ransom, premiering 1 December 2022, starring acclaimed comic Matt Okine and Logie Award winner Miranda Tapsell, Stan is planning to bring Christmas early this year.

Family favourites like Home Alone, Die Hard, and Elf served as inspiration for the riotous comedy-adventure Christmas Ransom, which is also full of heart and shenanigans.

A pair of shoplifting children accidentally stumble into the heist at the beloved toy store Harrington and Sons on Christmas Eve, where they are forced to work together with a heavily pregnant security officer (Tapsell) to save Christmas for everyone! The owner, a struggling Okine, is held hostage.

Christmas Ransom was written by Elliot Vella, Gretel Vella and Timothy Walker (A Sunburnt Christmas) and produced by Every Cloud Productions (a Global City Group company), the creators of the award-winning Stan Original Film A Sunburnt Christmas and the Stan Original Series Eden.

The Stan Original Film Christmas Ransom is created and executive produced by Drew Grove, Fiona Eagger, Deb Cox, and Mike Jones (all: A Sunburnt Christmas), directed by Adele Vuko (Skitbox, Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am, writer: Love Me), and produced by Naomi Just (The Unusual Suspects, Born to Spy, Ronny Chieng: International Student).
