“Who do you work for?” “Every married man will understand this – I work for Mrs. Claus!” Disney has revealed an official trailer for a holiday fantasy comedy titled Dashing Through The Snow, directed by Tim Story (who last made The Blackening). Arriving for streaming in November on Disney+, meaning this movie is skipping theaters entirely. A divorced social worker for the Atlanta police despises Christmas due to a painful childhood memory. When sent on a call while spending Christmas Eve with his daughter, he inadvertently evokes the wrath of a local politician but meets a strange man (named “Nick” wink, wink) who helps him understand the joy and magic of Christmas. Another Black Santa movie out this year (along with The Naughty Nine). Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges stars with Teyonah Parris, Madison Skye Validum, Lil Rel Howery as “Saint Nick”, Oscar Nuñez, Ravi V. Patel, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Gina Brillon, Sebastian Sozzi, Kevin Connolly, and Zulay Henao. This doesn’t seem half bad, although obviously it does look extra cheesy, which is what all Christmas movies are like these days. Should be enjoyable anyway.
Here’s the official trailer (+ teaser poster) for Tim Story’s Dashing Through The Snow, from YouTube:
Eddie Garrick (Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges) is a good-hearted man who has turned his back on Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. At the request of his wife Allison Garrick (Teyonah Parris), from whom he is separated, Eddie takes his 9-year-old daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) out with him on Christmas Eve, where they meet a mysterious man in a red suit named “Nick” (Lil Rel Howery). Eddie, who’s a social worker, thinks the man is delusional & needs professional help, but when he evokes the wrath of a local politician (Oscar Nuñez), he and his daughter are taken on a magical adventure that just might restore his faith in Christmas. Dashing Through The Snow is directed by American filmmaker Tim Story, of movies including The Firing Squad, Barbershop, Taxi, Fantastic Four, Hurricane Season, Think Like a Man 1 & Too, Ride Along 1 & 2, Shaft, Tom & Jerry, and The Blackening most recently, plus tons of short films and music videos.. The screenplay is written by Scott Rosenberg (Gone in 60 Seconds, Kangaroo Jack, Jumanji remake, Venom). Produced by John Jacobs and Will Packer. Disney will debut Tim Story’s Dashing Through The Snow streaming on Disney+ starting November 17th, 2023. Looking good?
