The cat is out of the bag on this one.

The Aggression Scale's Steven C. Miller has been teasing, via his Facebook page, that he's at work on a new film up in Canada. And we've been hearing rumblings that it was a "remake."

Variety confirmed today that he is, in fact, doing a remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night which is being simply called Silent Night.





Miller is coming off of a successful SXSW screening of The Aggression Scale - a throwback to '80s action flicks about teens taking on bad guys. Anchor Bay is releasing the film May 29th.

Silent Night is also being handled by Anchor Bay.





Malcolm McDowell is locked in to play a small town sheriff after a maniac who dresses like Santa Claus and terrorizes a small town. Jayson Rothwell penned the updated version of the story.

Richard Sapterstein, Brian Witten and Shara Kay will produce. Look for Silent Night to invade theaters this holiday season.

Steven C. Miller is readying Silent Night - a remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night - which is getting ready to roll cameras soon and is on track for a holiday 2012 release.

Miller, who landed on the genre scene with Automaton Transfusion, recently completed The Aggression Scale (arriving next month). With his latest effort, he's getting to work with the legendary Malcolm McDowell.





IFC spoke with the actor about his turn in the remake...



McDowell has played his share of villains and he told IFC that he's eager to play Silent Night's Cooper, a sheriff on the trail of the film's killer Santa.

"I'm the good guy and I'm chasing the bad Santa," he said. "That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do it. I’m happy to do it and I hope it’s going to be good."

Asked if he had seen the original Silent Night, Deadly Night, McDowell told IFC he had not and did not intend to.

Well, this was the same guy who played Caligula in the movie "Caligula" (I saw the ending and it was sooooo fake!) And the main guy from "A Clockwork Orange", so I'm surprised he's NOT the murderer in the film!
