NEW YORK (PRNewswire) -- CineLife Entertainment, a division of Spotlight Cinema Networks, announced that A Christmas Carol, a brand new retelling of the classic Christmas tale through the magic of dance, featuring an all-star British voice cast will be coming to theaters in the US beginning December 2020 through January 2021.


This unforgettable, original interpretation of A Christmas Carol takes a familiar story and gives it an innovative treatment.



The characters in the film are portrayed by dancers and voiced by an eclectic cast of the world's most recognizable actors. The mix of danced action and spoken narration brings a completely new and exciting dimension to Dickens' characters whilst remaining true to the beauty of his original narrative.


The film features a renowned British voice cast of Carey Mulligan, Daniel Kaluuya, Andy Serkis, Martin Freeman and Simon Russell Beale. Made in association with Quickfire, Saboteur Media, Radioaktive Films, Darko Skulsky, Jane Yatsuta, Laurence Gornall, Anne Sheehan, Angus Neill and Clare Lee Davis serve as executive producers on the UK-Ukraine co-production, and Kiev-based Radioaktive Film and the UK's Quickfire Films are co-financiers.


"We're thrilled to be working with CineLife Entertainment again as they are passionate about independent film, and their state-of-the-art Spotlight Cinema network theatres are the perfect environment for what could be the first family film outing of the festive season," said A Christmas Carol co-directors Jacqui Morris and David Morris.
