Director John Woo is bringing vengence and violence to the holiday season with his latest action movie, Silent Night.Entertainment Weekly released an official trailer for Silent Night, previewing Joel Kinnaman as a father grieving his son’s death as the unwitting victim of a carchase shootout. The shootout also leaves Kinnaman critially injured and mute but, after recovering, beings plotting his revenge against the killers by Christmas Eve. From there, the trailer teases the father getting into shape, surveilling the criminals, and testing his marksmanship skills before eventually unleashing hell on his targets with guns, knives, and vehicular mayhem to the tune of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.In an interview, Woo revealed that he chose to direct Silent Night — his first American project in 20 years since Paycheck — due to its “very smart script” resonating with his own familial connections. He also commented on the film’s uniquely silent presentation, noting, “The biggest challenge is how do you make the audience accept a story without dialogue, and get them moved by the story, let them understand they’re not missing something.” However, Woo praised Kinnaman’s commitment to his role, stating he “did 99 percent of his stunts, and he was also training with our fight coordinator every day, just rehearsing and training for all of the action sequences. He tried [to give] a real performance but only with his eyes, his eyes have so many stories and so many emotions. I was so happy to work with him.”RELATED: Face/Off Director John Woo Never Tried to Hide the Stunt Performers’ Faces
