Actor Walton Goggins, known for The Shield, Justified, and The Hateful Eight, has joined the cast of the movie Fatman, starring Mel Gibson as an unorthodox Santa Claus. The film is being written and directed by Eshom and Ian Nelms. Deadline provides the following description:
Fatman centers on a neglected and precocious 12-year-old who hires an unorthodox hitman to kill Santa Claus after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking. Goggins will star as Skinnyman, the eccentric, sharp-shooting hitman who works at a toy store.
This sounds like a fun and quirky film, with a strange and funny story to tell. I love Walton Goggins, and I think he can literally play any role, so this toy store hitman sounds like a great match. The film is in pre-production, so hopefully that means we will get some more info soon. I’m excited for this news! Are you interested in this film?
