What is Tinsel Town about?
Bradley Mack, a Hollywood action star with a bloated ego, is blindsided when his iconic action franchise is abruptly cancelled. With his career in freefall and worried his Hollywood days are behind him, he heads to England, hoping to rebuild his image as a serious actor on the West End.
But his long-suffering agent has other plans, sending Bradley instead to a small, snow-dusted village to star in the town’s eccentric production of Cinderella. As he fumbles through rehearsals with a colourful cast of oddball locals, Bradley begins to discover a spark of new beginnings in the form of no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Rebel Wilson).
What starts as a professional disaster soon blossoms into an unforgettable, heartwarming journey of second chances, surprising friendships, and festive magic in this hilarious Christmas comedy.
Julia Stuart, Director of Original Film at Sky, said: “We are so proud of this uplifting and charming comedy, and we can’t wait for it to come to Sky Cinema this Christmas. It’s feel-good, festive and funny, and we hope will have something for everyone to enjoy.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the movie…

He will be joined by Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect, JoJo Rabbit), who will play Jill, the eccentric choreographer of the production.
