Nate Bargatze Negotiating To Star In Holiday Family Comedy ‘Christmas In Paradise’ From Amazon MGM & United Artists’ Scott Stuber
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Red-hot comic Nate Bargatze is in negotiations to star in Christmas in Paradise, a holiday family comedy from Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists‘ Scott Stuber that’s in the early stages of development.
The film will have him playing a beloved small-town doctor (Bargatze) who finds himself with a unique bounty on his head just a week before Christmas, in a town where everything is not as it seems.
It’s the second he’s signed on to in the last few months, on the heels of The Breadwinner, a TriStar comedy based on his and Dan Lagana’s original pitch, on which he’ll also serve as a producer.
Jeff Tomsic (Tag) is on board to direct from a script by Johnny Rosenthal (Bad Santa 2). UA’s Stuber and Nick Nesbitt will produce alongside Tom McNulty (The Spectacular Now) and Nathan Reimann (The Curse of Bridge Hollow), who developed and packaged the project and brought it to UA.
