Kiefer Sutherland left fans starstruck when he was spotted filming in a North Yorkshire village for his upcoming Christmas project. 

The actor, 58, will co-star in a new film called Tinsel Town alongside Rebel Wilson which is set for release in December. 

His presence didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans in Knaresborough who jumped at the chance to snap pH๏τos with Kiefer. 

Sharing their excitement to Facebook, one local business wrote: ‘It has been so much fun having some famous faces among us the last few weeks while they used our beautiful town for filming a new Christmas movie. 

‘We were lucky enough to meet some of them (and Rob was even an extra) and Annie finally got to meet the lovely Kiefer Sutherland today. 

‘Seeing others enjoy our town as much as we do has been so special and it’s been wonderful to be a part of it all.’

Another added: ‘Oh my god! I’m literally the happiest person right now! @kiefersutherland is in our little town filming and I got to meet him! 

‘And if you know anything about me I bl**** love my 80s horrors especially The Lost Boys! I’m a mᴀssive film geek! I don’t think I’ve ever been so coy in my life. 

‘I’m feeling incredibly blessed right now. Also what a bloody lovely guy he was! I also shouted hello like a right plonker and quoted the lost boys at him.’

Set for a festive season streaming release in December 2025, Australian actress Rebel plays a choreographer for a small town stage company in England’s north who becomes involved with a newcomer played by Kiefer.

Trade paper Variety reported on Friday that the film, produced by Sky and Future Artists Entertainment and set to debut on Sky Cinema, is already underway.

Plot details released by the filmmakers reveal that the film centres on a fictional action ‘star’ called Bradley Mack played by Sutherland, whose career looks over after he is dumped from his own franchise.

Hoping to relaunch his name as a stage star in London’s West End, Mack heads to England, but he ends up booked to play a lead role in Cinderella for a tiny stage company in a remote northern village.

As rehearsals grind on Mack finds a connection with Jill (Rebel), who gives him a spark to move on from the disappointments of his past.

‘I love British Christmas movies,’ Rebel said in a statement.

She continued: ‘Because in Australia we’re just on the beach having a BBQ – and so now I feel like I get to have a classic British Christmas, freezing my t***s off but laughing and sledding all the way!’

The film is being directed by Chris Foggin who made the successful 2023 Netflix comedy drama Bank of Dave.

The film will be seen in the UK via Sky’s Sky Cinema subscription channel. Details of an Australian release are yet to be announced.
