The Jonas Brothers are returning to Disney! The Cinemaholic has learned that the renowned performers will lead ‘Get Us Home,’ a holiday-set musical feature for Disney+. Joe, Kevin, and Nick Jonas will headline the movie, which has started filming in Toronto, Ontario. Jessica Yu is at the helm of the film, written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger.
Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas initially rose to fame by starring in Disney Channel shows and performing as a pop-rock trio known as the Jonas Brothers. They made a guest appearance in ‘Hannah Montana’ before appearing in the ‘Camp Rock’ films and headlining their own Disney Channel series, ‘Jonas.’ Its narrative follows the siblings playing fictionalized versions of themselves who try to live a normal school life while being pop stars and teen icons. Beyond acting, the brothers have also contributed immensely to Disney’s music portfolio with chart-topping singles.
Nick has made notable appearances in films and TV shows since the conclusion of ‘Jonas.’ He stepped into the lead role of Doug Martin in ‘Careful What You Wish For’ and can be spotted in the war film ‘Midway’ as Bruno Gaido, ‘The Good Half’ as Renn Wheeland, and ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ and its sequel as Alex.
Jessica Yu is an Academy Award winner who made her feature directorial debut with the Hulu buddy comedy ‘Quiz Lady,’ starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh. She has helmed episodes of several famed TV shows, including Netflix’s ‘13 Reasons Why,’ the drama series ‘This Is Us,’ Prime Video’s ‘Citadel,’ and Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building.’
Los Angeles offers the perfect setting for the project, brimming with holiday cheer and Hollywood glamour in January. ‘Jonas’ was also filmed in the city, using its studio infrastructure to create its production sets. Moreover, the City of Angels has a rich history of hosting holiday-themed projects, from timeless classics to modern blockbusters. Some of these include ‘Scrooged,’ ‘Christmas with the Kranks,’ and ‘White Christmas.’
