In addition to the amazing casting choice for Father Christmas, there will be some solid talent behind the screen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Netflix film will be produced by Chris Columbus, who brought us the original Home Alone movies and the very Christmasy Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Clay Kaytis, who recently co-directed The Angry Birds Movie, will handle directing duties.
The film will be live-action with CG elements, presumably because reindeer are a nightmare to work with and never fly when you ask them to.
