Variety reports that Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect films and The Twilight Saga) is in talks to play a female Santa Claus for The Walt Disney Studios. The script comes from Miss Congeniality writer Marc Lawrence, who would also direct.
According to the trade, the film is going by the working title Nicole and “revolves Santa’s daughter who is forced to take over the family business when her father decides to retire and brother ends up getting cold feet prior to his first big Christmas Eve flight.”
Susanne Todd is producing, while Louie Provost is overseeing for Disney.
Kendrick has just started filming Pitch Perfect 3, which is scheduled for a December 22, 2017 release.
