Gary Oldman confirmed to reporters that he will be playing at least three characters in Robert Zemeckis' upcoming motion-capture animated "A Christmas Carol," including Tiny Tim. [via Sci-Fi Wire]
"I play Marley," Oldman said in a group interview in Beverly Hills, California, where he was promoting "The Dark Knight." "I play Tiny Tim, and I play Bob Cratchit, so I play three [characters]."
In the animated film -- which Zemeckis is directing with the same technology he used in last year's "Beowulf" -- Oldman will play opposite Jim Carrey as Scrooge in the retelling of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas ghost story.
Oldman disputed reports that acting in a motion-capture studio was like doing theater. "People that have never done theater say it's like [that]," he said, adding, "It's nothing like theater." Rather, he said, he performs his part in an empty room surrounded by "200 cameras, ... and you don't wear a costume, and you have dots on your face, and Zemeckis will make the movie in the computer later."
The new film is scheduled to hit theaters on November 6th, 2009.
