Production is underway for High Stakes Holiday, starring Violet and Madeleine McGraw, the talented sisters our readers know well. As reported by Deadline, ESX Entertainment’s latest film blends the sleek thrills of Oceans 11 with the clever, family-friendly spirit of Home Alone.
In the film, Violet and Madeleine portray quick-witted sisters whose Las Vegas vacation takes a wild turn when they get caught in a high-stakes heist. They team up with a former MI6 agent turned security guard (Andrew Koji) to outsmart a cunning international thief (Azizi Donnelly) and save a priceless diamond gauntlet before Christmas. The cast is rounded out by Brynne Kurland, Jack Griffo, and Struggle Jennings.
Directed by Shaun Piccinino (A California Christmas) from a script by John Ducey (A Hollywood Christmas), the film is produced by Ali Afshar, Daniel Aspromonte, and Christina Moore, with Violet, Madeleine, and their mother, Jackie McGraw, serving as executive producers. Filming is taking place primarily at the Palms Casino, lending an authentic Vegas backdrop to the story.
Supported by ESX Entertainment and Warner Bros., this project underscores Las Vegas’s emerging status as a production hub, with plans for new studio facilities signaling a bright future for the city’s film industry.
For fans of the McGraw sisters, High Stakes Holiday promises their signature charisma and sharp performances in a lively, holiday-themed adventure. Stay tuned for more details!
