The rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges has joined the cast of Fred Claus, an over the top comedy from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin. The movie is headlined by comedy regular Vince Vaughn. More info from Coming Soon... "Vaughn as Santa's loser brother living in New York who returns home to the North Pole and almost ruins Christmas. Ludacris will play an angry elf". Sounds like the typical cannon fodder that Vaughn usually gives us. I actually like the guy, and he is in my opinion the most talented of the "frat pack" of comedy actors. What's interesting about this movie is some of the other members of the cast which include Kevin Spacey and Paul Giamatti as Santa Claus. Different kind of movie for both of those acting heavyweights... it's gotta make this movie a must see when it's released Christmas 2007. source - the hollywood reporter, coming soon
