Gary Oldman 'Dicks' Around With Jim Carrey

[David Hawk]

Gary Oldman has inked on the dotted line to join Robert Zemeckis' next 3D motion-capture movie, an adaptation of Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.

Like star Jim Carrey, Oldman will be playing a variety of different roles.

Carrey we know will be Ebenezer Scrooge, and will voice all three ghosts that haunt him. So the educated guess is that Oldman will take v.o. duties for Jacob Marley, Scrooge's dead business partner.

Oddly, Cary Elwes will be acting as Jim Carrey's stand-in on the project. What the hell kind of role is that?? What's next? - Stunt doubling for Matthew Modine? Poor Elwes. Even starring in a huge break out hit like Saw did nothing for his career... People talk more about the dead body he was sitting next to in the film.

Anyway, Zemeckis' version of A Christmas Carol will be out November 2009. Which is, um, a really long time away.

I read the article on this the other day and forgot to post it on here.
It has a pretty good cast and if the directing is up to scratch I am confident it will be worth watching.

My only problem is that it will not feature Goofy, what is the world coming to?

I'm a big fan of Oldman, even some of the tripe he's been in, he's still brought a little something to it and as long as Carrey dials it down a little this could be something cracking to look forward to.
