Vanessa Hudgens to Star in and Executive Produce THE KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS for Netflix
Vanessa Hudgens is on board to star in and executive produce a film for Netflix entitled The Knight Before Christmas. The movie is being directed by Monika Mitchell and written by Cara Russell, who have both worked on their fair share of TV movies in this genre. Think Christmas Hallmark movies, but now on Netflix. Deadline gave us this exclusive, along with this synopsis for the film:
The pic follows a gallant English knight who seeks out his true quest after a sorceress inadvertently sends him from the medieval era to present day. While there he soon finds himself falling for a caring high school science teacher who is disillusioned by love. Josh Whitehouse, who stars in MGM’s reboot of Valley Girl and the upcoming HBO Game of Thrones prequel, also stars. Cameras will roll this April in Ontario, Canada.
I’m not really a fan of this type of movie, but most of my female friends are, so I know there’s a huge market for this movie for sure.
If Netflix can pump out Christmas movies the way Hallmark does, I know they will make some fans extremely happy. And Hudgens is a great actress who will do really well in a movie like this.
