Martin Short to Play Jack Frost In 3rd Santa Clause
Freezed Dried Movies reports that funny man Martin Short will be playing Jack Frost in the 3rd installment of The Santa Clause.
Walt Disney Pictures is in final negotiations with Martin Short to play the villain in "The Santa Clause 3."Short released Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, a full length feature film based on his Comedy Central show Primetime Glick. I enjoyed the show, but the movie was just a longer version of the show and didn't impress. Although I do like Short, and I think he would make an excellent villain opposite Tim Allen. Short is the type of comedic actor who can truly entertain by acting like an ass. This approach does not work well for everyone and when attempted can hurt an actors career -Brendan Fraser-, but Short has always pulled it off nicely.
Short will get a seven-figure deal to play Jack Frost, who tries to take over Christmas from Santa Claus.Tim Allen returns as Santa, aka Scott Calvin, who struggles to keep his new family happy while battling Frost.
With the Holiday season crawling closer, do you look forward to these types of Movies? If so, what are some of your favorite Holiday titles?

Christmas isnt christmas without watching A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and Home alone. As for this 3rd installment of the Santa Claus...the first one was funny but give it up already!

Another CLAUSE flick? Erg. Personally, I always enjoy the holidays with A CHRISTMAS STORY, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (yes, the remake, b/c I love Elizabeth Perkins), and DIE HARD 2. The holidays just don't get any better than that!

A Third Santa Clause movie?? I, for one, am adamantly opposed to futher films in this franchise because it has led to an entire generation of people spelling Santa Claus with an E. The 'Jolly ol' elf' doesnt have an E in his name, people. And Christmas movies with Tim Allen just need to stop.
