Celebrate the End of the 2009 School Year with A Christmas Carol 3D
Tuesday, June 30 by Julie Brown
Starting on November 5 this year is the feature film adaptation of A Christmas Carol in IMAX 3D. The film is based on the classic Charles Dickens tale about an old miser who must face Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come, 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.
Jim Carrey plays four separate roles: Scrooge, as well as the three ghosts (Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come). His dynamic character roles keep the four characters as diverse as being played by four actors.
Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future trilogy) has his chance to dabble in telling a story through the windows of time, as he directs the long-awaited remake.
Featuring the use of state-of-the-art "motion capture" film technology, which was used to great effect in the previous IMAX film The Polar Express 3D.
The film will be approx 90-100 minutes in duration and is yet to be classified. Feature film school pricing applies.
