Overview
- Reports say Universal has greenlit Naughty with Olivia Wilde set to direct and Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage tapped to star for a theatrical release dated November 5, 2027.
- The film is described as a holiday comedy in which Aniston’s character must find Santa, played by Dinklage, to testify in a custody hearing.
- Jimmy Warden wrote the script from a spec Universal acquired in 2023 and will produce alongside Wilde and LuckyChap with studio executives Sara Scott and Jacqueline Garell overseeing the project.
- The greenlight follows Wilde’s success with The Invite, which reporters cite as having strong critical marks and solid box office results, a factor said to have prompted the studio to move quickly.
- All details are reported by industry outlets and attributed to unnamed sources, so casting, budget and production schedules remain subject to confirmation as the project advances.
