Sean McNamara Charts "Young Santa" Story

Sean McNamara ("Soul Surfer") will helm "Young Santa," a live-action adaptation of Wonderful Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum's 1902 book "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" says Screen
 

 David Casci wrote the adapted screenplay about how a little boy grew up to become Father Christmas.

Joel Smith, Gudrun Giddings, David Brookwell, Daniel Wagner and Christian Arnold-Beutel are producing the film.

Famed stop motion animators Rankin-Bass produced a TV special based on the tome back in 1985. It was the company's last stop motion production. A traditionally animated adaptation was released in 2000 while a new animated version went into development in 2010 but never progressed and has seemingly collapsed.
