Director Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future, Forrest Gump) brings Charles Dickens's classic tale of greed and redemption to life in this week's 3D performance-capture adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Starring opposite Jim Carrey in the film is Brit actor Colin Firth as Fred, Scrooge's cheerful nephew. We caught up with Firth and Zemeckis to discuss the story's lasting appeal, unflattering bulges and making the most of Carrey in multiple roles.
