Kelsey Grammer To Play Scrooge

An American Carol
Kelsey Grammer will reprise the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for the indie satire "An American Carol," directed by "Scary Movie 4" helmer David Zucker.

Grammer, who previously played Dickens' stingy protag in the NBC-Hallmark production of "A Christmas Carol" in 2004, will play a modern-day Ebenezer in new film, which lampoons contemporary American culture, particularly Hollywood. Zucker penned the screenplay along with Myrna Sokoloff.
