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.[1] 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.[2] In April 2022, Kid Cudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno were added to the cast.[3]

Filming

Principal photography began in April 2022 in Mexico City.[3] Filming wrapped on May 17, 2022.[4][5]

Post-production

Marco Beltrami is slated to compose the score of Silent Night.[6] 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."[7]
