Olivia Colman to lend her voice for animated film 'Scrooge: A Christmas Carol'

Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley and Luke Evans are set to voice parts in the animated feature 'Scrooge: A Christmas Carol'. The film is touted to be a supernatural, time-travelling, musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved Christmas story, reports 'Variety'.

Evans voices Scrooge, Colman voices the Ghost of Christmas Past and Buckley voices Isabel Fezziwig. According to 'Variety', the film is directed by Stephen Donnelly and features re-imagined songs from the late two-time Oscar and Grammy winner Leslie Bricusse. The songs are arranged and produced by Jeremy Holland-Smith, who has also provided the original score.

Donnelly said in a statement accessed by 'Variety', "It's been a fascinating challenge to adapt such a beloved and often-told story. I think this version will give those who know 'A Christmas Carol' all the things they expect, but not as they've experienced them before."
