Robert Zemeckis ("Back to the Future," "Forrest Gump,"
"Cast Away") wrote the screenplay for Carrey and will direct
the film, which will be made for a 3-D stereoscopic release. The feature -- a production of Walt Disney Pictures and
Zemeckis' ImageMovers Digital -- will incorporate performance
capture and blend live action and CG in the tradition of "The
Polar Express" and the upcoming "Beowulf," both directed by
Zemeckis, and "Monster House," which he executive-produced. Several Web sites have reported that Bob Hoskins -- who
worked with Zemeckis on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" -- might
play Mr. Fezziwig in the film, but Disney said no official
deal-making has commenced with the actor. A release date for the feature has not been set. Carrey, whose credits include "Lemony Snicket's A Series of
Unfortunate Events" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind," is providing voice talent for the upcoming animated film
"Horton Hears a Who." Reuters/Hollywood Reporter |
