'Back To You'
Kelsey Grammer has signed to star as Ebenezer Scrooge in satire An American Carol.
The Frasier actor portrayed the character in NBC-Hallmark's 2004 production of A Christmas Carol but will play a modern version in the new film.
The movie, which parodies Hollywood and US culture in general, is helmed by Scary Movie 4 director David Zucker from a script he penned with Myrna Sokoloff.
Grammer will shoot the film at the same time as his Fox comedy Back to You, reports Variety.
Production is scheduled to begin later this month in LA.
