EXCLUSIVE: Following his Emmy-nominated work on the Apple series Palm Royale, director Tate Taylor looks to have found his next feature project. Sources tell Deadline that Taylor is set to direct the Sugar23 production The 17th Annual Coral Gables Christmas Caroling Extravaganza at 20th Century.

Annie Mumolo and Stan Chervin rewrote the original script by Connor Hines & Cory Walls. Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta will produce on behalf of Sugar23.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources say the comedy is in the vein of Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids (which Mumolo co-wrote with Kristen Wiig, earning an Oscar Original Screenplay nomination). Mumolo is expected to also have a producing role on the new pic, and while not confirmed sources say she may also star as well.

Jillian Kay will executive produce.

The project seems like a perfect transition for Taylor, who just worked with Wiig on the comedy series Palm Royale, which earned high marks for its similar comedic tones landing 11 Emmy noms including Wiig for Lead Actress in a Comedy and for Outstanding Comedy Series.

On the film side, Taylor is best known for his hit movies such as the Oscar-nominated The Help, Get On Up and The Girl on the Train.

He is repped by CAA.
