ABC Family yuletide tv flick in the works, set to star Shannen Doherty.
Christmas Flick Chick
Produced by Regent Entertainment, Christmas Caper will star Doherty as a Grinch-like thief who returns to her
sleepy suburban hometown and literally tries to steal Christmas.
April Blair, who's also working on an HBO comedy project with Gavin Polone, wrote the script. Paul Colichman, Jeffrey Schenck and Stephen P. Jarchow exec produce for Regency, with David Winkler to
direct.
Christmas Caper is expected to air in late fall as part of ABC Family's annual 25 Days of Christmas promotion,
in which the cable channel shows a different holiday program each night for a month.
Regent Entertainment has experience producing holiday pics for ABC Family. Last year, the studio shot
Christmas Do-Over, which starred Jay Mohr and another alum of an Aaron Spelling 1990s sudsers -- ex-Melrose Place
star Daphne Zuniga. Before that, it produced the Tom Arnold flick 'Chasing Christmas'.
