The Man Who Invented Christmas

The Man Who Invented Christmas is directed by Bharat Nalluri (MI-5) from a screenplay from Susan Coyne, which is based on Les Standiford’s book of the same name. It stars Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer, and Jonathan Pryce.

The Man Who Invented Christmas tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.

“It’s a rare treat to get a script that’s so fully formed,” Nalluri says. “It’s a fun, enjoyable piece with great characters and visual flare. Underneath it all, it has a little something to say about the world we live in. In a way, it takes after Dickens, who created these larger-than-life, often very comedic characters and used them to tell stories that delivered a profound impact on society and were fun to read.”

The Man Who Invented Christmas is rated PG.
