Ke Huy Quan to lead new action film Fairytale in New York

November 2, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Ke Huy Quan is getting his action leading man on with the new film Fairytale in New York. Jalmari Helander, the filmmaker behind Sisu, will direct this upcoming action thriller. Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani will pen the script.

The story is set on Christmas Eve in New York City and centers on an unassuming cab driver (Quan) who takes one last ride before celebrating the holiday with his estranged son. After a run-in with a gang of criminals, he embarks on a relentless pursuit to retrieve his kid’s priceless Christmas gift.

“As soon as we watched Sisu, we knew Jalmari was a filmmaker we wanted to be in business with again,” exclaims Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson in a statement. “Fairytale in New York is a wildly entertaining thrill ride of an action film and an emotionally resonant story about family. And every once in a while, an actor hits their prime. Ke Huy Quan is having that moment right now, and his deep experience crafting action in front of and behind the camera, as well as his exceptional likability, make him the perfect actor for this project.”

Former child star Quan burst back onto the scene with Everything Everywhere All At Once, winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He’s since co-starred in Loki and will make his leading-man action debut with Universal Pictures and 87North’s Love Hurts in 2025. Watch the trailer here.
