“O Night Divine” stars John C. Reilly as a fully bearded Santa Claus who serenades an adorable little girl in Italian. Alex Wolff also features as a crooning vagabond, showing off a lovely singing voice that we certainly didn’t hear in “Hereditary.” They are joined by model and filmmaker Hailey Gates, who had small parts in “Uncut Gems” and “Twin Peaks: The Return.” The rest of the ensemble includes newcomers Samia Benazzouz, Chloe Park, Valerio Santucci, Francesca Figus, Tania Hanyoung Park, and Shi Yang Shi.

Guadagnino has been working in the short form lately, both with his 2020 HBO series “We Are Who We Are,” and premiering the short “Fiori, Fiori, Fiori!” the same year. For his next feature, “Bones and All,” Guadagnino will reunite with “Call Me By Your Name” star Timothée Chalamet. The supporting cast includes his “Suspiria” star Jessica Harper, his “We Are Who We Are” actresses Chloë Sevigny and Francesca Scorsese, plus “Waves” breakout Taylor Russell, Oscar winner Mark Rylance, André Holland, and filmmaker David Gordon Green. The script comes from David Kajganich, who penned Guadagnino’s “A Bigger Splash” and “Suspiria.” The film shot in Ohio this summer. Though details are sparse on his other projects, he is supposedly remaking “Brideshead Revisited” for the BBC with Cate Blanchett, Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara, and Ralph Fiennes. Also in the works are a new version of “Scarface” and a revamp of “Lord of the Flies.” Meanwhile, a follow-up to “Call Me By Your Name” has long been rumored, based on the André Aciman novel “Find Me.” Though its future is murky at best following the allegations of sexual assault against Armie Hammer. For now, the moment calls for something light and frothy, like a warm egg nog at an ornate Italian ski chalet. Watch Guadagnino’s “O Night Divine” below.
