Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage are all set to feature in Naughty, an upcoming holiday comedy directed by Olivia Wilde. Backed by Universal Pictures, the film will bring the two acclaimed actors together in a festive story that combines courtroom drama with Christmas fantasy, as first reported by Deadline.
Known for her directorial venture The Invite, 42-year-old Wilde will helm the project from a screenplay by Jimmy Warden, known for Cocaine Bear and Borderline. The script originated as Warden's original spec screenplay.
What's the story of Naughty
As per Variety, it is said that 57-year-old Aniston will play Mallory, a single mother whose only chance of winning custody of her son depends on tracking down Santa Claus, played by Dinklage.
Mallory's "only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing."
