Jared Padalecki to star in "The Christmas Cottage"

Earlier this year it was announced that Jared Padalecki landed a major movie role for "The Christmas Cottage".

Jared will work alongside Peter O’Toole and Aaron Ashmore in a movie based on the life of Thomas Kinkade, one of America’s most famous living artists. His work expressed "life-affirming values" – the Christmas Cottage painting used as the basis of this film is shown below. Jared plays Thomas Kinkade.

A look at the inspiration behind Thomas Kinkade’s painting The Christmas Cottage, and how the artist was motivated to begin his career after discovering his mother was in danger of losing their family home.

The movie is directed by Michael Campus and is currently being filmed here in Vancouver and in Whistler. The movie has a holiday release.

Even better, though – this is a 3 picture deal. That means that Jared Padalecki has signed on for two additional films based on other Thomas Kinkade paintings.

    Wow, Jared is really soaring!! I can’t believe he gets to work with the legend, Peter O’Toole.

    That is so amazing. Cheers, Jared!!

    It’s funny….I started watching the first seasons of GG and he was really good in them. Kind of dark, but sweet. I think they dummied him up later on so he wasn’t as sexy (leaving room for Milo).

    Amazing how he and Milo are doing so well and the GG are, shall we say, not as much?

    The world is an interesting place, isn’t it?

    Yeah, Jared! The man is very sexy and a great actor, I hope this movie will be a hit.
    I can’t wait to see him in a movie with Ewan McGregor and Matt Damon!
