Variety is reporting that Jim Carrey will play Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts that haunt him in “A Christmas Carol,” an adaptation of the Charles Dickens tale that Robert Zemeckis wrote and will direct for Walt Disney Pictures.
“A Christmas Carol” will feature both live-action and computer graphics with Zemeckis applying performance capture/Disney digital 3-D animation, the same technique he used with Tom Hanks and company in “Polar Express.”
Variety’s Michael Fleming stated that actor Bob Hoskins let it slip out in an Internet interview that he and Carrey would star together in “A Christmas Carol,” inadvertently surfacing a formally secret film project. “While Hoskins–who starred for Zemeckis in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’–might end up in the film,” Fleming said in the article….”the studio denied that any deal had yet been made with him.”
