The new Disney 3D animation film “A Christmas Carol” is the retelling of Charles Dickens classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions. “A Christmas Carol” starring Jim Carrey opens around the world this weekend.
Of interest to Castle fans, the voice of Belinda Cratchit is played by Molly C Quinn [Alexis Castle].
Diane Ford (Michelle Monaghan), a vivacious and successful independent truck driver, leads a carefree life of long-haul trucking, one night stands and all-night drinking until the evening her estranged 11-year-old son (Jimmy Bennett) shows up at her door.
Peter hasn’t seen his mother since he was a baby and wants Diane as little as she wants him; but with his father Len (Benjamin Bratt) in the hospital, Diane and Peter are stuck with each other at least for a while.
Burdened with this new responsibility and seeing the life of freedom she’s fought for jeopardized, Diane steps reluctantly into her past and looks sidelong at a future that is not as simple or straightforward as she had once believed.
Diane’s neighbour and best friend Runner is played by Nathan Fillion.
