It was only a few short months ago when I discussed the Universal Pictures release “Violent Night” with the Official Trailer (seen HERE ICYMI) and today the film is out for all to enjoy for the upcoming holiday season. Of course that’s only if your holiday season includes Santa Claus kicking some major villain behind when they try to ruin Christmas. When I discussed the trailer I pointed out how fun it looked and so we rally behind this one in our growing Pop Culture section. Take a look at the Official Release poster along with a light premise and the casting down below and I will meet you at the end.

Though I’ve aimed at keeping the Pop Culture “Film and Television” section of PiercingMetal focused on the Kaiju, Marvel and DC superhero and related Science Fiction releases, there are times when the occasional action film gets featured. Sure I’ll always feature a “Mission: Impossible” or “John Wick” film here and the weirdness about a film with Santa Claus as this type of vengeance seeking individual in “Violent Night” made me decide to include it as well. Down below you’ll find the Official Trailer, the casting and some promotional art. Please Enjoy.

The Premise: When a group of mercenaries attack the estate of a wealthy family on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus must step in to save the day.

In just about a month, Netflix will begin streaming the live-action adaptation of the mega-popular “Cowboy Bebop” Anime series which features the great John Cho as the lead character Spike. I’ve already lined out my relative lack of Anime background but I have Netflix as a service and will likely sit down to binge watch it when time permits. Since this stems from a beloved franchise, I plan on offering up whatever features and trailers they dish out for our readers who hold this property close to their own hearts. With that said you can follow along by clicking HERE and also enjoy a new Teaser called “The Lost Session” down below. I’ve added the light premise, casting and some images to make your time on the website more enjoyable. See you at the close.

The first visual of the series is presented below along with some light premise and casting so please enjoy.
