mike_white_amazing_raceMike White is signed on to write the script for the upcoming Paramount Pictures comedy Santa Wars. White’s previous works include writing and directing the Molly Shannon starring dramedy Year of the Dog and writing up The School of Rock. White is not only a writer on this project but also a producer under his company Rip Cord Productions with Scott Rudin. Here’s more from Variety on the some what interesting story plot:

The genesis of “Santa Wars” was a segment on Ira Glass’ public radio show “This American Life” written by Joshuah Bearman that aired last December.
Segment revolved around the battles that erupted after two men who made seasonal livings dressing up as Santas formed a union, the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas, but then became bitter rivals.
This plot can go either way when it comes to the delivery and how White decides to go with it. For all we know, this could turn into another Christmas with the Kranks or Jingle All the Way. Well, if it does not have Tim Allen or Arnold Schwarzenegger in it that’s quite a start.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
