Charles Dickens’ beloved
Christmas ghost story gets a
spine-tingling makeover in this
new British adaptation from
writer Steven Knight, the scribe
behind such gritty British dra-
mas as “Peaky Blinders.” Guy
Pearce (“Memento”) stars as
miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who
is about to embark on a dark
night of the soul as the tale
opens. Others in this remake
include Andy Serkis as the
Ghost of Christmas Past, Joe
Alwyn (“The Favourite”) as Bob
Cratchit, Scrooge’s put-upon
clerk; and Stephen Graham
(“Line of Duty”) as Jacob
Marley, Scrooge’s deceased
partner.
