Posted 2/4/08 6:02 pm EST by in News


Jim CarreyWho can forget the classic story of "A Christmas Carol," with characters so iconic they've become veritable archetypes: Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim...Santa Claus.

Wait, what? "You don't remember Santa Claus?" 12-year-old actress Sammi Hanratty squealed when we caught up with her at a recent red carpet. "It was in the movie; you have to watch it again!"

The world at my fingertips and, for the life of me, I can't find a single adaptation of Dickens' classic novel that includes any mention of ole St. Nick. But that's all gonna change when Robert Zemeckis brings his interpretation to the big-screen next year, Hanratty insisted. Read More...

In "Yes Man," Jim Carrey returns to his comedic roots and plays a man who forces himself to say "yes" to everything. When we visited the film's set this past weekend, the actor was in the process of dangling from a bridge, so I guess he's going the method route.

Gondry Tackling 'Ripley's'? Don't Believe It

Posted 7/6/07 2:27 am EST by in Hot Stuff, News


Michel GondryOne of the more interesting projects out there is a whimsical adaptation of "Ripley's Believe It or Not," the classic anthology of amazing discoveries and questionable facts. Long-attached to the film was director Tim Burton, with Jim Carrey set to play the intrepid explorer in the title role. Recently, however, Burton ditched the production, leaving its future in serious doubt.

Enter the rumor mill. According to one story sweeping the Internet, famed auteur Michel Gondry has been in talks to take over from Burton, reuniting the helmer with his "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" actor. On its face, the pairing would make sense, given the propensity for Gondry to tackle quirky films like "Ripley's." Seems like a lock, right? Well, not quite. Reached for comment, Gondry's publicist assured MTV News that the rumors are, to put it bluntly, "untrue." So is this the final word? Sadly, that'd appear to be the case.

Who would you like to see tackle "Ripley's Believe It or Not?" Chime in below!
