I thought their was only one movie?

 

Really? Time for a list!

 


     
  • Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost (1901), a short British film that is the earliest surviving screen adaptation.

  • A Christmas Carol (2009), a performance capture film directed by Robert Zemeckis, and starring Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge and the three ghosts.

 

And those are just the ones who directly tell the story. There are way more adaptations of the basic story then I can count.

LOL thanks Maestro!

 

Yeah, and a lot of TV shows have Christmas specials based on the Christmas Carol storyline as well, such as Doctor Who this year and Catherine Tate's 'Nan's Christmas Carol' thing a couple of years ago. It's a great concept, but after a while it's just like 'OMG come up with something else already!' At least for me, haha.

No, it's definately not the same as the actual thing, but it's based on the same story. That's what I mean about the story being so over done, even in different formats. The original is great, but unfortunately the constant rehashing of the storyline in remakes or TV shows etc lessens the impact for me, which is a real shame.
