Warner Bros. Pictures and Stampede Ventures have set up a live-action “Frosty the Snowman” film that will star Aquaman himself Jason Momoa as the voice of the title character.
David Berenbaum (“Elf”) is writing the script based on the venerable character that Momoa will embody as a CGI Frosty in a hybrid CG/live-action film. Momoa, Geoff Johns, Jon Berg and Greg Silverman will produce.
Silverman says in a statement: ““From his role as a fearsome count in a land of ice and fire to the oceanic success we all had with Aquaman, it felt only right to realize Jason this time out of snow. We know Jason’s as a true human being filled with love, compassion and a deep connection to ohana… all of which is the living spirit of Xmas and Frosty.”
The character is best known for the short film directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in 1969 that became a holiday staple along with the original song.
