Robert EGGERS BUILT A CAREER ON BIBLISTRATE ACCUREATE REPRESENTATIONS OF THINGS THINGS WOULD BE TERRIBLE TO LIVE THROUGH: Getting stalked by a witch (or is it vvitch?) In colonial america, being one of two guys working at a lighthouse with no one but World’s Loudest Seagulls for Company, Seeking Revenge for Your Dead Father Across A Barren and Hostle Scandinavian Landscape, and Most Recently, Getting Tricked by A Vampire Ino Giving Up Your Horny Wife. Though he doesn’t Only Make Monster Movies, Monsters Are One of Eggers’ Trademarks. He wants us to look at evil in its most tangible self. Spreads of the Whygers’ Next Monster, who, accorting to reports, is none other than ebenezer scrooge, Feels so right. There have been several iterations of the Christmas-Hatting Boss Who Learns A Valuable Leson in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, Involving Anyone from the Muppets to Animated Ducks to Actors in Your Local Theater Company. IT’S The Story of One Grumpy, GREEDY MAN WHO HATES SO MUCH THAT GHOSTS HAVE TO DROP BY ON CHRISTMES TO TECH HIM HOW TO BE A Good Person. Willem Dafoe, who has collaborate with Eggers on his last three films, is reportly stepping ino the role of scrooge, but he’d be just as menacing as any one of the ghosts.

This is the Third New Project EGGERS HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO SINCE Nosphere; Earlier this year he teeded his werewolf Movie Called, Uh, Werwulf, and he’s also reported to be jumping into the Labyrinth sequel. His eagerness to dive into Worlds of monsters and myth with an eye for gory reality has made his work thus far much more pleasurable than actually frightening (though there are plenty of scares as well). A Christmas Carol is so well-trod as to be basically myth, not unlike the salem witch trials or Dracula. EGGERS DOES HIS BEST AND HE CAN PUT HIS SPIN ON FAMILY CANON. Dickens’s Story is for Children, Mostly, or Rather, IT Has Been Unil Now. Once EGGERS GETS HIS SPOOKY MITTS ON IT, THE NEXT THING WE KNOW, THE GHOST OF CHRISTMENT FULLE WILL BILL SKARSGård Covered in Warts and Scars.
