在这部圣诞颂歌剧情/奇幻/冒险片中,在2014年上映的《狐狸猎手》后，贝尼特·米勒一直未有新作品问世。近日其终于揭晓了拍摄计划，米勒将把查尔斯·狄更斯的经典中篇小说《圣诞颂歌》再度搬上大银幕，并已邀《莎翁情史》编剧汤姆·斯托帕德执笔。美国独立电影超级推手梅根·埃里森、斯科特·鲁丁，则将同米勒一道担任本片制作人。
On Christmas Eve, an old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his former partner, Jacob Marley. The deceased partner was in his lifetime as mean and miserly as Scrooge is now and he warns him to change his ways or face the consequences in the afterlife. Scrooge dismisses the apparition but the first of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Past, visits as promised. Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and sad, that forged his character. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows him how many currently celebrate Christmas. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows him how he will be remembered once he is gone. To his delight, the spirits complete their visits in one night giving him the opportunity to mend his ways.
