Whether you’re a fan of what Robert Zemeckis has been doing with motion capture technology lately, in films such as Beowulf and the upcoming adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, you have to admit that the technological expertise required to execute such films is pretty extraordinary. Also extraordinary in Zemeckis’ upcoming film (which is slated to be released on November 6) is the fact that actor Jim Carrey is embodying not only the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, but also the character of Ebenezer Scrooge at four ages.

We have on our hands an interesting clip on the making of the film, which focuses on Carrey’s performances. Take a look at it below, and be on the lookout for it when it comes out next month!

(Also note: this isn’t quite a one man show. Alongside Carrey will be Zemeckis staple Bob Hoskins, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, and Robin Wright Penn.)

Check out the clip below.
