Disney has chosen November 6, 2009 as the release date for a new adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic holiday tale “A Christmas Carol”. A few big stars have recently joined director/writer/producer Robert Zemeckis’ (”Forrest Gump”, “Polar Express”, “Back to the Future”, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”, “Cast Away”, “Beowulf”) next film.

“A Christmas Carol” will be the third performance capture/Disney digital 3-D animated film Zemeckis has done. Carrey will play the mieser Ebenezer Scrooge, the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present AND the Ghost of Christmas Future. This should be wacky, to say the least.

Robert Zemeckis revealed in a podcast on the official “Beowulf” site that Bob Hoskins, Colin Firth and Gary Oldman have joined Jim Carrey in “A Christmas Carol”. Online source Comingsoon.net reports that Robin Wright Penn announced she is also in “A Christmas Carol” on her podcast online as well.

There are rumors circling the net that Tom Hanks, Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox may also join the cast. If the movie is as fresh and fun as the cast this could be a serious hit. Carey is in a career slump and sure could use one after the abysmal “The Number 23″.
