Giamatti to Play Santa Claus


Cinderella Man star Paul Giamatti will team up with Vince Vaughn and play Santa Claus in an upcoming holiday comedy. The Christmas tale revolves around Santa's bitter, black-sheep brother, played by Vaughn, who returns home to the North Pole after a long absence. The movie was previously titled Fred Claus, but due to a copyright issue, the film will be re-titled. Dave Dobkin will direct the film after previously working with Vaughn on Wedding Crashers.
