'A Christmas Carol' Trailer 2: If Nothing Else, They Owe Ferrell Chest Royalties

September 28, 2009 Comments

This new trailer for Robert Zemeckis's stylelessly-animated A Christmas Carol has a cameo by someone who appears to be a CGI, Christmas-themed version of Terrence Maddox, Will Ferrell's nude male model of SNL fame. Logically, this makes it marginally better than the Christmas Carol trailer that came out two weeks ago.*

*It's possible that trailer included this guy too. I can't pay attention to everything all the time, OK?

Man, the look of Scrooge's animated corpse-face still creeps nearly as much as the concept of a Human Centipede.
