Behind the Scenes: Louise Linton Directs Holiday Action Comedy 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas
Louise Linton, known for her roles in B-movies and as the wife of the Treasury Secretary, is now working on her third feature film as a director. The upcoming holiday action comedy, "Twas the Fight Before Christmas," is described as a mix of "Home Alone" and "Die Hard." The film follows two sisters, one white-trash and the other posh, who must team up to defend their estate during a break-in on Christmas Eve. The project is being shot in Los Angeles and Camarillo over a 10-day period, hinting at a modest budget.
Linton is keeping the budget details under wraps, but she has enlisted veteran stunt coordinator Mike Gunther to choreograph the action sequences. Unlike her previous films, she has chosen not to act in this one, except for a small cameo as a maid. Linton is fully focused on directing this time around and is enjoying the creative process without the added pressure of acting.
In addition to her directorial work, Linton has also made headlines for her involvement in other projects, such as producing a film about particle physics and exploring the role of death doulas in Hollywood. Her latest film promises to be a fun and entertaining holiday romp, blending comedy and action in a unique way. Stay tuned for more updates on "Twas the Fight Before Christmas" and Linton's future projects.
