It's been announced that Jeremy Zag's ZAG production and animation company has joined forces with Chris Columbus' 1942 Pictures and Ocean Blue Entertainment to finance and produce a new Christmas movie titled 12/24. Matt Lieberman wrote the script for the planned film, based on an original idea by SAFE HOUSE scribe David Guggenheim.

12/24 will follow "two brothers who find an old home video proving the existence of Santa. They then set a trap to catch him, but when it goes wrong and Santa gets injured, our boys have to save Christmas and embark on a worldwide present-drop operation with the help of Santa's elves."
