Principal photography occurred in the Ottawa Valley (Ontario & Quebec, Canada) and in the Towns of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills in February 2020. The climactic shootout sequence took four days to film, with the temperature hitting as low as 36 below zero Celsius.

When was the Fatman filmed?

It was filmed locally

Throughout the winter of 2019/2020, Mel Gibson was filming throughout the Ottawa Valley area, even going to small-time locations like Chesterville of the North Dundas area. Other local locations filmed for the movie includes Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and West Carleton-March Ward in Ottawa.

Who died Fatman?

It pretty much seals the fact that Fatman is the Logan of Santa Claus movies. Of course, this is after Ruth puts a musket ball in Jonathan's head, as his attempt to hunt and kill Mrs. Cringle ends with a soft “I'm sorry,” and a loud bang. But Chris survives, and he's ready to get the job done.
