British channel Sky announced today that Michael Sheen and Nathalie Emmanuel are starring in a Sky Original film called Last Train To Christmas, written and directed by Julian Kemp and set to be released on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW on December 18. This is the synopsis:
Tony Towers (Sheen) is about to take the trip of a lifetime. It’s 1985 and he’s a successful nightclub manager, a local celebrity and engaged to a much younger woman, Sue (Emmanuel). Things are going great. But when he embarks upon the 3:17 to Nottingham for a Christmas family reunion, things get a little strange. Moving up a carriage to the buffet car lands him in 1995, where he finds his clubs have failed and his life has fallen apart. Tony discovers that by moving up and down this fateful train, he can transport himself forward and backward to various stages of his life. Not only that, but the actions he takes in one carriage directly affect his life in the next. The question is, can Tony change his life – and the lives of the people he loves – for the better, or will he just make things worse?
Sky also released a first look at Michael and Nathalie, which you can see on our photo gallery:
