James Corden to star in Christmas film 'School for Santas' James Corden is to reunite with the writer of West End sensation One Man, Two Guvnors for a Christmas movie called School for Santas. The Gavin & Stacey star will appear as a down-on-his luck dad in the Working Title film written by celebrated playwright Richard Bean. "All my life I've wanted to make a big family Christmas movie...[it's] a dream come true," Corden said. The film is being produced by Kris Thykier with whom Corden is currently filming David Frankel's One Chance. Re-teaming with Richard Bean and Kris Thykier is like all my Christmas's have come at once. I can't wait to start. School for Santas follows Corden's character who is estranged from his children on a search "to find his inner Father Christmas" in order to win them back. Shooting will begin in New York and London next year. Corden's Gavin & Stacey co-star Joanna Page appears in one of this year's Christmas movies Nativity 2 alongside David Tennant.
