Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to star opposite Alan Ritchson (Reacher) in the upcoming Christmas comedy feature, The Man With the Bag that is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Adam Shankman (Hairspray) is directing the film from a script penned by Allan Rice.

The logline reads: “When Santa’s magic bag is stolen, he turns to his naughty list to find Vance, a former thief, to help him get it back. Along with his daughter, Santa, and a group of misfit elves, Vance will have to pull off the greatest heist of his life to save Christmas.”

No word yet on who is playing who but our assumption is that Schwarzenegger, who also appeared in the 1996 Christmas movie, Jingle All the Way, will play Santa. The film is set to shoot later this year.
