Kevin Hart To Play Santa in Disney's DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
Kevin Hart will play Santa Claus in the upcoming Disney film Dashing Through The Snow. According to THR, the film is about a workaholic NYC detective who has lost the Christmas spirit, and his connection with his son. It's now up to Santa (Hart) to restore the man's spirit and his relationship with his son.
No word on who Hart will be starring alongside, but for some reason my head is telling me it's probably gonna be Mark Wahlberg? I hear "overworked dad with not enough time for his kids," and he just fills the profile. Plus, Wahlberg worked with Will Ferrell, who worked with Hart, so it's obvious? Okay, the logic is devolving...I really have no clue who it'll be.
With no lead and director, it's safe to say this film won't be ready for holiday 2016, but I'd be surprised if it arrives after Christmas 2017.
