The Man Who Invented Christmas 《圣诞发明家》
主演：丹•史蒂文斯、克里斯托弗•普卢默、乔纳森•普雷斯、西蒙•卡洛、米瑞安•玛格莱斯
Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol is arguably the most beloved Yuletide story ever told – at least since the Nativity itself. It’s certainly one of the most adapted stories of all time, with an almost countless number of film, TV, and animated incarnations. But how did the story itself come about? Bharat Nalluri, the director of the unsung but delightful Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day, adapts Les Standiford’s novel of the same name, which argues that Dickens, played here by Dan Stevens, based Scrooge on his own father (Jonathan Pryce). Christopher Plummer assays miserly moneylender Ebenezer himself, which, remarkably, he has never done before. Released December 1 in the UK, December 14 in Portugal and December 21 in Italy (Credit: Bleecker Street Media)
查尔斯•狄更斯1843年的中篇小说《圣诞颂歌》大概是有史以来，至少是自耶稣诞生以来最受喜爱的圣诞故事。不可否认的是，它是被改编最多的故事之一，根据该故事改编的电影、电视剧和动画片简直数不胜数。那么这个故事是怎么来的呢?贝瑞特•奈鲁利将勒斯•斯坦迪佛德的小说改编成了同名电影，这部小说称狄更斯(由丹•史蒂文斯饰演)笔下的斯克鲁奇是基于他自己的父亲(由乔纳森•普雷斯饰演)。贝瑞特•奈鲁利曾执导过不出名但却很好看的电影《明星助理》。克里斯托弗•普卢默饰演吝啬的放债人埃比尼泽•斯克鲁奇，值得注意的是，这是他以前从未尝试过的角色。该片于12月1日在英国上映，12月14日在葡萄牙上映，12月21日在意大利上映。
