Sky has today that Derek Jacobi, Mawaan Rizwan, Maria Friedman, Meera Syal, Danny Dyer, Ray Fearon, Alice Eve, Lucien Laviscount and James Lance have joined the cast for its upcoming Sky Original Christmas film ‘Tinsel Town.’
They join the previously announced casting of Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson.
Sutherland plays Bradley Mack, a failed Hollywood action star who ends up in a small, snow-dusted village to star in the town’s eccentric production of ‘Cinderella.’ Here, he encounters a colourful cast of oddball locals who slowly come to hold a special place in his heart, including no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Wilson). Comedian Katherine Ryan (The Duchess) will take on the role of Mack’s long-suffering agent with the local villagers played by the legendary British actor Derek Jacobi (Gladiator II).

Matt Williams and Pascal Degove at FAE will produce. Executive Producers are Julia Stuart, Laura Grange, Piers Tempest and Martin Owen.
The movie will be coming to Sky Cinema at Christmas 2025.
