Oh, but here's where it gets good (or depressing, depending on whether or not you're related to Cary Elwes): The actor hasn't nabbed a role in the film. Instead, he's standing in for Jim Carrey when the actor isn't available. Yes, Cary Elwes has officially become a stand-in. Just to give you a tad more info in case you didn't know: Ten years ago, Elwes starred opposite Carrey in Liar Liar. Now, he's had to settle for Carrey's stand-in. What happened there? Should we send a basket ... or something? I feel bad. Anyway, Moviehole also squashes the rumor that Tom Hanks will be playing Bob Cratchit. They claim he "has no part in the movie." Hint, nudge ... Elwes. A Christmas Carol is currently set to arrive on November 6, 2009.
