AceShowbiz - Mariah Carey is working on a holiday movie. According to Deadline, the diva is expected to play a key role in the Christmas flick and Brett Ratner who directed many of her music videos will serve as a producer. It will also feature her songs along with other tracks by different artists.
David Diamond and David Weissman, who previously scripted Ratner's 2000 holiday film "The Family Man", will write the screenplay. Based on Carey's idea, it revolves around the joyful season and "how the power of music can transport you back in time to your truest and most authentic feelings."
Mariah Carey was last seen on the big screen in "Lee Daniels' The Butler" in 2013, while Brett Ratner directed "Hercules" and "Horrible Bosses 2" last year. The two pals recently sparked romance rumors after they were caught getting cozy in St. Barts, France during their weekend birthdays.
