| | |  Gary Oldman to play three roles in A Christmas Carol
Gary Oldman, known for playing Sirius Black throughout the Harry Potter films, has recently taken on another role - or, rather, three. He will be gracing the big screen as Marley, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim in Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol. Quote:
“I saw the designs, and the realizations of London and the characters. The design of it, and the look of it, is beautiful. It’s quite stunning. It should be quite magical.”
The performance is set to be unusual, but they're willing to take on the challenge, especially when Oldman plays Tiny Tim. Quote:
“They put you in a trench. They’re on platforms that they wheel in and wheel out. So you’ve got all this crew moving floor around. And when I’m walking on my crutches, the actors are much higher than me, so the eyelines work. And later they will animate little legs on me,” Oldman said. “It would be so expensive to do it [live action]. And you can do things with the ghosts that you couldn’t do in the more conventional way. Much like [Batman Begins and The Dark Knight], [Zemeckis] has sort of reinvented The Christmas Carol. It’s probably closer to how Dickens saw it.”
He can next been seen in the upcoming film The Dark Knight, which hits theaters on July 18th, 2008.

Wow! That's going to be interesting with Gary and Jim play multi-roles. I'm so going to see it.

That's really interesting. I can see Marley and and Bob Cratchit (yay!), but Tiny Tim? :/ Not so sure about that one...
He's a phenomenal actor, though, so congrats, and I have faith in his talent.

That's cool that Gary Oldman's in the movie, but Jim Carry? I'm not too crazy about him. Sounds good though. And I can't wait to see the Dark Knight.

Well that play would sure look interesting, given the specialize props they'll be using
So Gary Oldman will play both Bob Crachit and Tiny Tim? with Jim Carrey playing Scrooge and the three ghosts? i guess patrons are gonna be in for a double one-man show.
