“Ride Along” producer Will Packer will reteam with comedian on the project
Kevin Hart is in talks to star as Santa Claus in Disney’s christmas comedy, “Dashing Through the Snow,” an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Will Packer, who has worked on the “Ride Along” films with Hart, will serve as producer along with John Jacobs (“Ted”).
“Dashing Through the Snow” will follow a New York City detective who has a bad relationship with his son.
The project, in development at Disney Live Action, is an original idea by Scott Rosenberg (“Con Air”), and will be written by Rob Burnett.
TheWrap recently reported exclusively that “Ride Along 3” is in development at Universal, with Ice Cube to return as well.
