Guy Pearce to Star in a Dark Holiday Update of 'A Christmas Carol'
Given that there are already at least a dozen adaptations of the Charles Dickens holiday classic A Christmas Carol in the world – including versions performed by everyone from Patrick Stewart to The Muppets – it’s not entirely clear that we need another. But, that’s what we’re getting, whether we like it or not.
The BBC and American cable network FX have teamed up to bring us this latest take on a holiday staple and, to be fair, it does look like this particular incarnation of the story is embracing something of a different interpretation.
Guy Pearce stars as Ebenezer Scrooge and it appears as if his Christmas time dark night of the soul is going to be pretty, well…literally dark.
