LatinoReview (they also have the poster) just debuted this first still from Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey, or at least, the digitized version of Jim Carrey. For all the talk of how motion-capture has come a long way since the zombie-eye days of Polar Express, it still looks creepy, and not in a good way. I just don’t understand paying Jim Carrey $10 million dollars to act and then having a team of Indians in a basement somewhere recreate his facial expressions. But then what do I know, I’m just a guy who lights up the room with his smile.

Jim Carrey as Scrooge? Looks more like Popeye to me. Why don’t they make a “Popeye” movie?
Oh wait…remembers…Robin Williams…never mind.
Tiny Tim: “God Damn it Everyone”
Of course LatinoReview has a poster. His name is Pepe.
Considering it’s an old man played by Jim Carrey, do you think we’ll be able to tell his ass from his face?
Lotion capture is what I call my trips to the local kids pool.
After seeing that annoying Red Bull scene from the “Yes Man” trailer, I’d CGI him in too. So I wouldn’t have to put up with him on the set.
SPOILER ALERT! The Scrooge character becomes generous in the last 5 minutes of the film.
Meanwhile, Jenny McCarthy’s kid is set to star in an involuntary motion capture film called ‘Vaccine, the musical’.
I just don’t understand paying Jim Carrey $10 million dollars to act and then having a team of Indians in a basement somewhere recreate his facial expressions.
I agree. Save that resource for giving Keanu Reeves.
I’m just waiting for the machinima version of this starring Bob Cratchet n’ Clank.
For LatinoReview, every day is Jesus’ birthday.
i light up a match with my farts
In “The Gary Busey Christmas Carol” Scrooge makes the Cratchett family eat Tiny Tim and then takes a dead goose to the best doctor in England.
In “The Gary Busey Christmas Carol”, scrooge is visited in the night by an old dirty mop in a kangaroo pouch.
