Mariah Carey At Center Of Christmas Movie Deal With New Line And RatPac

EXCLUSIVE: New Line has pre-emptively bought an untitled Mariah Carey Christmas pitch from RatPac Entertainment, writers David Diamond and David Weissman and producer Jon Shestack. The plan is for Carey to play a major role in the film. The project came about when Carey brought an idea to RatPac principal and her pal Brett Ratner for a movie about Christmas. The yuletide season is special for Carey, who wrote and performed

“All I Want for Christmas Is You,” a 1994 tune that has sold more than 14 million copies globally to become the biggest holiday perennial in recent memory and the biggest international hit of Carey’s career.

It’s a reconnect for the writers with Ratner; they collaborated on the 2000 Ratner-directed hit

, which starred Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. They are keeping the plot of the Xmas film under wraps, but the holiday is at the film’s center, along with a theme of how the power of music can transport you back in time to your truest and most authentic feelings. The plan is to include feature songs from all different artists in addition to songs by Carey.

Shestack will produce with Ratner, and James Packer and John Cheng of RatPac Entertainment will executive produce. Toby Emmerich and Walter Hamada will oversee for New Line Cinema. Carey is repped by CAA and WikkedCat. The scribes, who are writing

Why so hateful, Anonymous? She’s a multi talented woman who will make a Christmas Special shine. We need more positive Christmas TV programming and movies. I’m looking forward to something new and fresh that my entire family can enjoy.

From the team that brought you “The Family Man” and the star of “Glitter”.

I love this one.. Can’t wait..stop the negativity.

This is actually a great idea! I know a Mariah-themed XMas movie has been in the works for years and it’s nice to finally see it start to come to life! As long as they keep the budget low and attract an established cast of big name actors and/or musicians, I can see this becoming a holiday hit.

Family Man pretty much saved my marriage so I’m in.

LOVE Maria and her big contributions to Christmas (she did after all, write Faith Hill’s ‘Grinch’ ballad ‘Where Are You, Christmas?’)

But it seems this decade is. WAYYY TO SCARCE with theatrical Christmas movies; they seem pretty relegated to cable nets.

It’s like…where is THIS DECADE’S ‘Elf’, ‘Family Man’ or ‘Polar Express’ (never mind older modern classics like ‘Home Alone’ or ‘Christmas Vacation’)…

Yes Marah, work! new album, new songs, new music video, xmas themed movie, epic, las vegas… so excited for my girl.

She’s had Christmas movies in the works since 2008, about a real estate developer that wants to put up a huge shopping mall up in a small town and commercialize Christmas blah blah blah, every Hallmark holiday movie… wonder if it’s the same one?

she’s an icon & an extremely smart business woman. she’s worth 520 million + for a reason! this woman is a GENIUS! theres nothing she can’t & won’t do! go mariah!!

I love Mariah and will definitely see this but I can’t help but feel this sounds like a Christmas themed version of Glitter.

You all want to mention Glitter as a way of putting Mariah down but the frank honest truth is that Mariah has come leaps and bounds as an actress and was beautifully understated in her most recent roles.

Blah! Yet another case of a precious star suggesting an idea or concept that a team of lowly paid people will develop and write on her behalf so she can star in it for a ridiculous amount of money. Hey Mariah, how about you develop and write the thing yourself.

There’s a Last Vegas 2?! Why? The first one only made 63 million. Who was asking for another episode of this?

Brett Rattner, Mariah Carey and New Line? About “a theme of how the power of music can transport you back in time to your truest and most authentic feelings.” How can this possibly NOT suck? I’d rather see that GOLDEN COMPASS sequel we’ll never get.

Since this might be a Christmas family movie, please tell Mariah to keep her fake boom-booms inside her costumes.

People actualy think she will fail? She doesnt do the same mistake Twice. Glitter is over and it wasnt a bad movie just poorly scripteted. Mariah Carey will do great and i will laugh when everyone Hating now claps.

The music that was lethal and dangerous was highest fantasy.

as much as she has given sound-range’s fantasy to us through the music,

The older,the more sensibility will be in abundance, various.

Excited for this already. All of the writers mentioned are brilliant and anytime Mariah and Brett get together it’s pure magic.
