Development
In October 2021, Silent Night was first announced as an action film without spoken dialogue, with John Woo as director and Joel Kinnaman as lead star. In March 2022, a special effects assistant was injured during pre-production in a stunt trial run in Mexico City. The crew member was hit by a car, breaking his femur and dislocating his shoulder. In April 2022, Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno were added to the cast.
Filming
Principal photography began in April 2022 in Mexico City. Filming wrapped on May 17, 2022.
Post-production
Marco Beltrami composed the film’s score. In March 2023, producer Erica Lee confirmed the movie features no dialogue:
“It really has no dialogue. It was another spec script that I was given and read, and I was like, “This is either going to be a genius move or a disaster, there’s no in between.” It’s execution dependent for sure. I mean, John Woo kills it. Joel Kinnaman is the star and really delivers. I mean, there’s some ambient noise and background and chatter like radio and stuff like that. But, yeah, it’s awesome. I can’t wait for you to see it.”
In an interview with Vulture, Woo said:
“Very interesting movie. The whole movie is without dialogue. It allowed me to use visuals to tell the story, to tell how the character feels. We are using music instead of language. And the movie is all about sight and sound. The budget was a little tight, and the schedule was tight, but it made me change my working style. Usually, for a big movie, a studio movie, we shoot a lot of coverage, then leave it to the cutting room. But in this movie, I tried to combine things without doing any coverage shots. I had to force myself to use a new kind of technique. Some scenes were about two or three pages, but I did it all in one shot.”
Release
In September 2023, it was announced that Lionsgate had acquired the distribution rights for the film, and scheduled the film for a theatrical release on December 1, 2023.
