Jim Carrey Is Really Out to Scrooge Moviegoers

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

Wildfire Adds Salt to a Rocky Romance

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.

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.
