Stealing Chaplin is quirky but captivating, and a performance-driven wickedly eccentric comedic ride from prolific British director Paul Tanter (The Nights Before Christmas, Dystopia, and Kill Ratio, among other titles) and co-written by the films stars Simon Phillips (Age of the Living Dead, No Easy Days), and Doug Phillips (Not All Who Wander, Butchers) under their Dystopian Films banner with fellow producer Ken Bressers (The Nights Before Christmas, The United Nations of Horror).
Stealing Chaplin is inspired by a true story about two brothers who dig up and steal the corpse of Charlie Chaplin. Filmed on the legendary Strip, Freemont Street, and the 27-acre ranch of “Mr. Las Vegas” himself Wayne Newton, the film honors the spirit of Las Vegas in true cinematic fashion.
The film stars Simon Phillips (Age of the Living Dead, No Easy Days), Doug Phillips (Not All Who Wander, Butchers), Al Sapienza (The Sopranos, House of Cards, Suits), Peter Woodward (The Patriot, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Babylon), Ken Bressers (The Nights Before Christmas, The United Nations of Horror), Anne-Carolyn Binette (Age of The Living Dead, The Scarlet Vultures, Butchers), Liliana Vargas (Make Mo Money, Sara Did It), the cinematic debut of Bianca Katz, and “Mr. Las Vegas” himself Wayne Newton.
