A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens' timeless tale of an old miser, Ebeneezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), who must face Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, as they help to bring kindness to his otherwise cold heart. The Ghosts remind him of the man he used to be, the hard truth of what the world is today, and what will happen if he does not strive to be a better man. Set around Christmas, the most joyous day of the year, Scrooge realizes the sharp contrast of his own personality.

Carrey plays four separate roles in this updated version of "A Christmas Carol." Carrey portrays Scrooge, as well as the three ghosts (Past, Pesent, and Future). His dynamic character roles keep the four characters as diverse as being played by four actors.

Disney has released the following photo from Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol, showing Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge encountering a ghost. The trailer is set to debut by the end of this month sometime, and will most likely show in front of Pixar's "Up" starting on May 29.

"A Christmas Carol" is both written and directed by filmmaker extraordinaire Robert Zemeckis, of everything from "Back to the Future" to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" to "Forrest Gump" his past CGI movies "The Polar Express" and "Beowulf" previously. This is based on Charles Dickens' classic story. Jim Carrey stars at least four different characters, alongside of Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, Colin Firth, Cary Elwes, and Bob Hoskins. Disney will debut "A Christmas Carol" in theaters everywhere on November 6.
