TRAILER

(Trailer can be downloaded for MPG formats)

Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) has lived his entire life in his brother's very large shadow. Fred tried, but could hardly live up to the example set by the younger Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), who was just a perfect...well...saint. True to form, Nicholas grew up to be the model of giving, while Fred became the polar opposite: a fast-talking repo man who's run out of luck and money. Over Mrs. Claus' objections, Nicholas agrees to help his brother on one condition: that he come to the North Pole and earn the money he needs by working in Santa's workshop. The trouble is that Fred isn't exactly elf material and, with Christmas fast approaching, Fred could jeopardize the jolliest holiday of the year.

Claus at Odds: Fred vs. Santa
"Fred Claus is a very unusual character. He's both the antagonist and the protagonist," states Dobkin. "You know he's something of a troublemaker, but somehow you still find a way to root for him because he's the one in the family who's been overlooked. He carries that pain, and, of course, there's comedy that comes from that pain." More...

The Claus Family Fashion
Costume designer Anna Sheppard was responsible for fashioning North Pole couture; Dobkin notes, "When Fred first arrives at the North Pole we wanted it to be very clear that he was entering a world that's been frozen in time. For Santa and his family, we drew inspiration from wholesome 1950s- and `60s-era family sitcoms like `My Three Sons' and `The Donna Reed Show.' The Claus family, sans Fred, represents the unspoiled nuclear family from a more idyllic time." More...
