By Marie-Louise Gumuchian LONDON, situs olympus Dec 11 (Reuters) - Gerard Butler fans are used to seeing the Scottish actor swoop in to save the day in action films like "Olympus Has Fallen" and "Plane". But in his latest movie, the 55-year-old takes on a somewhat different role - a singing, sometimes rapping, Santa Claus. Butler voices St. Nick in "The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland", an animated musical film adaption of the children's picture book by Carys Bexington and Kate Hindley.
The story is a mash-up between the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Alice in Wonderland" and sees St. Nick travelling to Wonderland to deliver a gift and Scatter Hitam finding himself in trouble with a Christmas-hating Queen of Hearts. "This is a little fun animated movie, not be the thing I would normally do or be expected to do, but I loved the opportunity to do different performances in different arenas," Butler told Reuters.
