It’s as if Charles Dickens wrote this story to be a movie—it’s so visual and cinematic. It’s the greatest time-travel story ever written and I wanted to do the movie the way I believe it was originally envisioned by the author.”

~Robert Zemeckis, Director/Producer/Screenwriter

Grandpa Jim!

Is the bearded Jim Carrey trying to look the part of his next big role? The 47-year-old is about to become a grandfather at the end of the year, thanks to his daughter Jane, 21. She’s expecting a son with her rocker fiancé, Alex Santana.

"As you wish..."

Princess Buttercup and Wesley are back together on the big screen! Robin Wright Penn and Cary Elwes, who played the respective onscreen romantic partners in “The Princess Bride”, are co-stars again in this new version of the Dickens classic.

"Action!"

This is director Robert Zemeckis’ third go for animated features: he did “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”? (“A Christmas Carol” marks his return to the Disney fold), "The Polar Express" (which also uses the rotoscope animation method). He won an Academy Award for Best Director for his work in "Forrest Gump", but also directed the “Back To The Future” series.
