Producer Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) first announced his Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol adaptation back in 2017, and now, speaking with Collider, he opened up about the structure and timeline for his ambitious project for the BBC. “It’s gonna be three one-hours, it’s largely done in terms of the script.
Knight also indicated he hopes to start filming A Christmas Carol sometime this calendar year.
If his three-hour adaptation goes over well with audiences, he will likely move on to his ambitious eight-hour adaptations of the author’s other novels.
We’re planning to shoot this year and hopefully get it on the screen for Christmas…
