Padalecki to Play Kinkade in 'Cottage'
Title character set for Campus feature based on painting
Jared Padalecki is set to join Peter O'Toole in the Oscar-bait feature The Christmas Cottage for director Michael Campus and Lionsgate Films.
The feature is already set for a December 14 release which makes it prime for Oscar season. The film is based on the famed painting by Thomas Kinkade and Padalecki is set to play the iconic painter who used his gift as an artist to portray his life-affirming values and explore the world around him. O'Toole will play a painter named Glen Wessler, based on one of Kinkade's mentors.
The film is part of an intended three-picture deal between Lionsgate and Kinkade. The next two films, also planned with Padalecki as Kinkade, will be based on other paintings and reflect different points in Kinkade's life.
