Oldman: More Than One Role In Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol
|
Slashfilm.com posted a confirmation from Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) that he will be in Robert Zemeckis’ production of A Christmas Carol. This special version of the well-known Christmas classic by Charles Dickens will be a capture digital 3-D adaptation, similar to Zemeckis’ Beowulf.
“I play [the ghost of] Marley, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim,” Oldman told /Film at the Dark Knight junket. “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.”

A Christmas Carol will actually star Jim Carrey who also has more than one role. Other than "Ebenezer Scrooge", the comic actor will also be the "Ghost of Christmas Past", "the Ghost of Christmas Present", and "the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come".
Here is what the post quoted Mr. Oldman to have said about this new technique of filmmaking:
“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.
It’s kind of like shooting a regular movie I think. Alot of people say ‘working in that motion capture with Bob Zemeckis, it’s like theater, isn’t it?’ And often the people who have never done theater say that. I don’t think it’s like theater, but I feel it’s like doing a regular movie, but without the breaks abd the costumes. You just keep going, and there is no lighting, so you don’t have to wait for two hours while they turn the set around. You actually keep filming.”
We will have to wait until December 2009 to see this “magical” film.  But fortunately, Gary Oldman fans can see him in The Dark Knight when it is released on July 18.
