Netflix Reveals Top-Notch Cast, New Images for 'Scrooge: A Christmas Carol'

The Christmas holiday season is closer than you think! Netflix has unveiled the cast and some new images of Timeless Films ( Monster Family, Rock Dog, Extinct ) and the upcoming animated film by director Stephen Donnelly (winner of an Emmy Lost in Oz) Scrooge: A Christmas Carol , which will premiere on Netflix in December.

The new reinterpretation of the Christmas classic sees protagonists Luke Evans (voice of Scrooge), Olivia Colman (Past), Jessie Buckley (Isabel Fezziwig), Johnny Flynn (Bob Cratchit) fee (Harry Huffam) Giles Terera (Tom Jenkins) Trevor Dion Nicholas (Here I'm), James Cosmo (Mr. Fezziwig) e Jonathan Pryce (Jacob Marley).

Charles Dickens' ageless legend is reborn in this supernatural, time-traveling musical adaptation of the ultimate Christmas story: with his very soul at stake, Scrooge has only one Christmas Eve to face his past and build a better future. .

Produced by Timeless Films in association with Axis Studios and distributed by Netflix, the spectacular CG animated film features revisited tracks by legendary and two-time Oscar and Grammy Award winner Leslie Bricusse OBE ( Doctor Dolittle, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Superman, Home Alone ).

“It was a fascinating challenge to adapt such a beloved and often told story,” Donnelly said. “I think this version will give to those who know A Christmas Carol all the things they expect, but not as they have experienced them before. There are more than enough psychedelic, time travel, and musical surprises to keep those familiar with the story in suspense, while Dickens' authentic essence has been kept for those who are completely fresh from classical history. Do not I see wait to share this new version of A Christmas Carol with the world and I sincerely hope that the public appreciated it this year and that many to come ”.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is produced by Bricusse, Ralph Kamp pga and Andrew Pearce, co-produced by Rebecca Kamp and Gareth Kamp. Arranged, produced tracks and original score by Jeremy Holland-Smith.
