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.
