A New Cast For Christmas Carol

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 15, 2011 -- Of course, by stars, I mean beloved cartoon and puppet characters. A Muppet Christmas Carol and Mickey's Christmas Carol stick out in my mind with Kermit in the ever important Bob Crachit role and Scrooge McDuck appropriately taking on Ebenezer Scrooge. But there are countless versions of the tale that are a little more serious. From the 1999 version with Patrick Stewart to the 1984 version with George C. Scott to the scratchy old black and white iteration from the 30s to Bill Murray's classic reimagining titled Scrooged, I've seen them all.

And being that I'm a bit of a Christmas nut, I look forward to the new versions Hollywood offers up every few years. I was so disappointed with 2009's Jim Carrey scary-animation Disney version that I've been planning this list for a while. The next Christmas Carol movie should put animation on the back burner and cast these folks in the live-action roles instead.

Michael Fassbender as Ebenezer Scrooge, he's too young, you may say but need I remind you that a large chunk of the story involves flashbacks to an earlier time when Scrooge wasn't so selfish and heartless? Fassbender occupies a space where he can easily play a man much older than he is Scrooge is about 50 and play a man much younger flashback Scrooge is late 20s to early 30s which is something that always bothered me about various screen versions of the tale, it's always odd to see different actors playing the same man at age 50 and age 30. Plus, if you saw his performance as Rochester, you've got to admit, he's got the recluse crumudgeon schtick down.
