Kevin Spacey Join Joe Claus

Ok this is fantastic news. As you may remember, a little while ago we talked about the new film Joe Clause (formerly it was going to be called Fred Claus). Paul Giamatti is playing Santa Claus, and Vince Vaughn was playing his loser little brother Joe Claus. To me, this already sounded hilarious.

It just got better. Kevin Spacey has singed up to play the bad guy! Holy crap! The good folks over at Coming Soon give us this:

The role marks back-to-back WB bad guys for Spacey, who plays Lex Luthor in this summer’s Bryan Singer-directed Superman Returns. Joe Claus shoots in the fall in London, which is convenient for Spacey because he can continue his work as artistic director of the Old Vic. Spacey is already set to star in an Old Vic stage revival of “Moon for the Misbegotten.”

Sign me up. This is going to be hilarious… I hope. Thanks to Nazz for the heads up.
