Tim Allen reveals original 'darker' plot of the 1994 holiday film 'The Santa Clause'
1994's 'The Santa Clause' has remained one of the most beloved and renowned holiday films over the years; perfect for the whole family to watch. In a recent interview, actor Tim Allen who played Scott Calvin in the film revealed something rather disturbing about the original plot of the film.
In an appearance on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' Allen said that in the original script, Allen's character was going to murder Santa Claus by shooting him because he thought he was a burglar. “The original ‘Santa Clause’ is a little darker, written by two comedians, and I actually shot and killed Santa, in the original movie. He fell off the roof because I thought he was a burglar,” he said, talking about how differently the original script played out. “He gives me the card – the whole movie starts. The kid actually starts, ‘You just killed Santa.’ And I said, ‘He shouldn’t have been on the roof when he wasn’t invited,'” he continued.
