One of Hollywood’s most notorious and quirky characters will be returning to the big screen on Friday in ‘A Christmas Carol’. Jim Carrey, as Scrooge, is sure to dominate the box office this holiday season . Get the details on the movie below!
A Christmas Carol, with Jim Carrey as Scrooge, was produced by Robert Zemeckis, the creative mind behind the Polar Express and Beowulf, with the help of Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke.
The movie is sure to have both kids and their parents running to theaters this Christmas season. Aside from Jim Carrey, who is responsible for the voices of not only Ebenezer Scrooge but the Ghosts of Christmas past, present and the future, also stars Gary Oldman.
Oldman has taken on the roles of Tiny Tim, Cratchit and Jacob Marley. Also featured in the animated masterpiece is actress Robin Wright Penn and Bob Hoskins.
On top of the creative character line-up there is much talk about Zemeckis, “a whiz kid with special effects.” The brilliance in which he brings the old story to life has already been praised by his peers.
“It was the idea of being able to actually recreate London and not have any limitations whatsoever. Anything that existed at the time we could present,” Zemeckis said. “Then the idea that Jim could play Scrooge in all the different ages, and the ghosts, they could be his alter-ego, and he could play those. Everything just fell into place.”
