Tim Allen, the beloved voice behind Buzz Lightyear and Santa Clause veteran, has been accused of being “so fucking rude” during the making of the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses by former co-star Casey Wilson.
On a recent episode of the Bitch Sesh podcast, Wilson reportedly opened up about her experience on set with Allen while filming the spinoff, during which she guest-starred in the pilot episode.
“Tim Allen was such a bitch. It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Wilson said.

Tim Allen has been accused of being “so fucking rude” on the set of the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses by his former co-star Casey Wilson.
The Saturday Night Live alum recently opened up on the Bitch Sesh podcast, according to media reports, about her experience filming the show — she guest-starred on the pilot episode.
“Tim Allen was such a bitch. It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Wilson said, adding that she had “buried this” story until now because one of the show’s producers is “a great friend” of hers and because her children “loved the movies.”
The Santa Clauses is a sequel to Allen’s trilogy, 1994’s The Santa Clause, 2002’s The Santa Clause 2 and 2006’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.

The mood isn’t entirely cheery as Tim Allen faces some serious competition in the trailer for the second season of Disney+’s The Santa Clauses.
This holiday-themed series returns to the platform with its two-episode season premiere set for Nov. 8, following the first season that launched last year. Eric Stonestreet joins the cast as Magnus Anta, aka the Mad Santa, who was in charge of the North Pole in the 14th century and aims to challenge the current reign of Scott Calvin (Allen) and his family.
“I am Santa, the rightful Santa,” Stonestreet exclaims in the footage released Tuesday. “The Santa who occupies the North Pole now is a fraud!” He adds, “Revenge will be swift — and sweet. I am Santa, after all.”

For several Christmas seasons in my childhood, “The Santa Clause” reigned supreme. The 1994 Tim Allen movie about magic, divorce and accepting the realities of both was such a go-to that soon enough, my vision of the North Pole became one and the same with this one, with its snarky elves and legendary hot chocolate I would happily push Santa off a roof to try myself. Now, though, I’m an adult woman who spends half my time reviewing shows borne of the beloved comics, movies and toys of my youth, which has rapidly become more depressing than magical.
Still: I came to Disney+’s “The Santa Clauses,” in which Allen returns alongside Elizabeth Mitchell’s Mrs. Clause to do right by Christmas and his new family, with an open mind.

We’re talking, of course, about Bernard, a role originated by David Krumholtz in 1994’s The Santa Clause, opposite Tim Allen. Krumholtz reprised Bernard in the 2002 sequel The Santa Clause 2, at which point Bernard had taken under his wing a protégé named Curtis (played by Spencer Breslin).

To many, Tim Allen will always be Santa. But as it turns out, the original 1994 family film “The Santa Clause” was supposed to be “darker.”
“The original ‘Santa Clause’ is a little darker, written by two comedians, and I actually shot and killed Santa in the original movie,” the actor explained to Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday’s episode of “The Tonight Show.” “He fell off the roof because I thought he was a burglar.”
He added, “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.'”

Ah, December. A time for sipping hot beverages, retail therapy, and gathering the family around the television. This holiday season, Netflix will add blockbuster comedies new and old to its collection, as well as some more artistic fare fresh from festival circuit. Next month on the streaming platform, home viewers can catch the comedic stylings of Chris Pratt in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” in case they missed it in theaters. If you prefer something a little darker, the Wachowskis’ dystopian epic “V for Vendetta” will also be available.

Friends, as we approach another Christmas, it’s time to limp across the finish line, gasping for air. In 2011, by himself, Josh took a look at the 1994 holiday comedy The Santa Clause. In 2012, Josh and Gabe, along with guest Marc Vibbert, did the same with the 2002 sequel, The Santa Clause 2. And now, it’s just Josh and Gabe, gaping in awe at the terror and foul horror of the 2006 end of the trilogy, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. On the one hand, sure, this movie has Tim Allen, Martin Short as Jack Frost, Alan Arkin, Ann-Margret, and more. But on the other hand, it has Martin Short singing a poor parody of “New York, New York,” and Alan Arkin doing some of the worst acting of his life. Put it this way, there are plenty of tangents in this episode because it just got too painful to...

The last name to join Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's book Inherent Vice was Owen Wilson, but now a trio of co-stars have just been added to the comedic detective story. Deadline has word that Reese Witherspoon is taking the female lead, a role once rumored for Charlize Theron, while The Wrap has pegged Martin Short to make his first live-action film appearance since The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, along with the addition of Jena Malone, who will be seen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire this fall. That's quite an eclectic blend of talent, and none have worked with Anderson yet. For those just joining us, the story follows a stoner detective named Larry "Doc" Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) trying to solve the case of a kidnapped girl he used to date. Witherspoon is taking the female lead which will reunite the actress with...

The Santa Clause was Tim Allen.s big screen debut, and it quickly became a modern and fun family Christmas classic. It.s yearly replay value meant Disney was down for sequels, and in 2002 and 2006, The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause were created.

Velvet-voiced Elizabeth Mitchell is always a pleasure to watch on-screen or onstage owing to her smart role choices. Most people know and love her as Dr. Juliet Burke on "Lost" and as Erica Evans, humanity's best hope against reptilian invaders, on "V"; but she's also made an impression as Angelina Jolie's lover in "Gia" and with supporting roles in "Nurse Betty," "The Santa Clause 2," "Running Scared" and "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause."
In "Answers to Nothing," an ensemble drama opening this Friday, Mitchell plays a woman desperately trying to have a baby with husband Dane Cook, even though she suspects he is cheating on her. Mitchell chatted with us about her premonition before she got this role, how she felt about Juliet's death on "Lost," what would have happened on "V," and how reaching out and touching Angelina Jolie helped land Mitchell's first film role in "Gia.

Tower Heist grabbed first place on Friday, though it was a pretty standard start for such a star-powered vehicle. On the weekend, the Ben Stiller-Eddie Murphy comedy should end up behind Puss in Boots, which held extremely well. Meanwhile, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas was unable to convert 3D premiums and holiday themes in to a new franchise high. Tower Heist scored an estimated $8.1 million from 3,367 theaters on its opening day. That's way off from Due Date ($12.2 million), which debuted on the same weekend last year. It was also a tad behind Ben Stiller movies Tropic Thunder, Starsky and Hutch and Along Came Polly, all of which started with between $8.2 and $9.5 million. Still, it's an improvement over all of director Brett Ratner's original movies besides the first Rush Hour. The movie should wind up around $24-$25 million on the weekend.Puss in Boots dipped just 18 percent to an estimated $7.8 million.
