Coming off the success of her recently released dramedy The Invite, director Olivia Wilde has a new film lined up with the holiday comedy Naughty. Universal Pictures has greenlighted the film, and tapped Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage to star. Naughty follows Mallory (Aniston), whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus (Dinklage) and convince him to testify at her divorce hearing. Jimmy Warden penned the script, which originated from his original spec that Universal landed in 2023 with Wilde on board to direct. Although Wilde would go on to direct The Invite first while Warden fine-tuned the script, she always had Aniston and Dinklage in mind to star as Mallory and Santa.
