[Reporter Xu Shiying/Taipei-Europe Connection Interview] David Harper, who played the sheriff in "Stranger Things", became the "killest" Santa Claus in the new film "Violent Night". The 47-year-old said with a smile that he has always believed in The existence of Santa Claus, even jokingly said: "I may have believed it until last year, probably until I was 45 years old." I am more confident that the version I played will not lose if I play against the "Killing God" interpreted by Keanu Levi. , "I think Santa will win!"

In the film, Santa Claus played by David is quite world-weary. On Christmas Eve, he reluctantly gives gifts, but encounters a mercenary group who comes to rob a mansion. Violent battle.

Off-screen, he said that he was a faithful believer in Santa Claus when he was a child, "So when I found out that it was my parents who pretended to be it for many years, it was really a very sad day."

Speaking of the content of the movie for the first time, David admitted that he had some doubts about the role, "My agent described it as 'this is a violent Santa Claus movie', and my first reaction was 'what are you talking about? Huh?" "It wasn't until I had a deep chat with the production team that I realized that the theme was fresh and joyful. After reading the script, I was even more moved. "I choked up when I saw it at the end, and thought it was really great. it is good!"

For the action scenes in the film, David has undergone a lot of training, "Our action team comes from films such as "Defense Mission", "Frozen City", "Unknown Killing" and other films. They are really second to none in this field. After two months of special training, including Jiu-Jitsu, Greco-Roman Wrestling and various choreography, although exhausted, I learned a lot, and I can pretend that I am much stronger than I actually am, and I am very happy to work.”

Since the wonderful action is from the same school as "Defending Mission", David was asked who would win if he fought against John Wick, the "God of Death" played by Keanu Levi, and he said that he hadn't watched the entire series, "but I remember that he is still a mortal, and Santa Claus can extend his lifespan as long as someone believes in his existence, I think the bet is of course on Santa Claus!"

David Harbor joked that "Grand Night" can develop the "Santa Claus Movie Universe".

Since Christmas comes every year, does that mean there is an opportunity to see "Grand Night" develop into a series of movies and continue to see Santa Claus go on a rampage?

David said that there is no discussion yet, and it still depends on the box office and the audience's reaction.

He played the role of "Red Guard" in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" and said with a smile, "Maybe we can also develop into the "Santa Claus Cinematic Universe", I definitely want to play it!" "Violent Night" will be held in Taiwan tomorrow (2nd) release.
