The upcoming Disney holiday comedy Dashing Through the Snow is eyeing comedian/actor extraordinaire Kevin Hart for the role of Santa Claus. If Hart signs on he would reteam with Ride Along producer Will Packer, who is producing the project with John Jacobs.
DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
A divorced New York cop is responsible for taking care of his son on Christmas Eve. Instead of spending a normal holiday evening with him, the father brings him along while patrolling his beat.
Lloyd Taylor has come on to script the latest draft of the pic, which sees John Jacobs producing via his Smart Entertainment shingle. Sources also confirm that the studio is actively searching for a director to take on the Christmas comedy.
