I’ve never quite understood the charms of James Corden, but a lot of people love him and he’s also got a lot of respect as an actor, and he even won a Tony for the Broadway run of One Man, Two Guvnors. Now he’s signed up for a new movie, as Working Title has announced he’ll star in their upcoming School for Santas.
The film follows a down-on-his luck dad who needs to find his inner Father Christmas to win back his kids. The film is set to start shooting in New York and London in 2013.
The script comes from Richard Bean, who also wrote One Man, Two Guvnors, so it’s a bit of a reunion for the duo. Bean has also written such well received plays as The Heretic, Up On Roof and Harvest.
Corden commented, “All my life I’ve wanted to make a big family Christmas movie. To be making one with a company like Working Title Films is a dream come true. Re-teaming with Richard Bean and producer Kris Thykier is like all my Christmas’s have come at once. I can’t wait to start.”
