Robert Zemeckis: TV Guide News

Jim Carrey Is Really Out to Scrooge Moviegoers | Today's News: Our Take | 7/6/2007
Jim Carrey will play Ebenezer Scrooge — as well as the three ghosts that haunt him — in a new big-screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, to be written and directed for Disney by Robert Zemeckis, says Variety. Zemeckis will shoot the film using "performance capture/Disney digital 3-D" animation, a technique he introduced in Tom Hanks' Polar Express and fine-tuned for Beowulf (an upcoming film starring Angelina Jolie), a bit of live action and a dash of Monster House-esque computer graphics. And just like that, The Grinch looks art-house. read more

Fans of ABC Family's Wildfire had better brace themselves for a new arrival from across the pond. Charlotte Salt, a charming up-and-coming British-born actress, is joining the cast for the final three episodes of this season (starting tonight at 8 pm/ET) as Gillian, a wealthy heiress who splits apart one of the on-again-off-again romances on the show. TVGuide.com spoke to the 20-year-old about exactly what kind of "horsing around" she did on the set. TVGuide.com: How did this Wildfire role come about? Charlotte Salt: I auditioned for the pilot over a year ago and I never heard anything more from them. But then I got a call saying, "Reme read more
HITTING THE MODER LODE | Today's News: Our Take | 8/18/2005
She was "eh" as Alexander the Great's mommy, but maybe she will do better parenting an eighth-century Scandinavian hero. Headline magnet Angelina Jolie will play the mother of Beowulf in Robert Zemeckis' upcoming big-budget feature based on the Old English epic poem. Beowulf will be computer animated, using the same performance-capture technology as Zemeckis' The Polar Express, meaning some ridiculously lucky stagehand will get to stick those little ping-pong ball thingies all over Brad Pitt's lady friend.
