UPDATE: Christmas Comes to Cannes

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY, PRESS CONFERENCE & SATELLITE MEDIA ADVISORY



DATE: MONDAY, MAY 18, 2009

HOTEL, CANNES, FRANCE

On Monday, May 18, Christmas will come to Cannes when Jim Carrey (Yes Man, Horton Hears a Who!), Colin Firth (Mamma Mia!, St Trinian's) and director Robert Zemeckis (Back to The Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit), break out the yuletide spirit early to unveil "DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL." Following a festive photo opportunity on the Croisette in front of the Carlton Hotel, the spectacular press event will launch seven months of global anticipation of this exciting reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic tale, which opens in theaters nationwide on November 6, 2009.

"DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL," a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking 3D motion picture event.

Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (Gary Oldman) and his cheery nephew (Colin Firth). But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late.

The very first film clip from "DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL," along with edited highlights and b-roll of the launch event, will be available to media via two satellite feeds, including b-roll of the launch event (12 p.m. ET) and a full edited package (2 p.m. ET)
