The UK movie is to be based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel. Other notable stars on board include David Walliams (“Little Britain”), Franz Drameh (“Legends of Tomorrow”) and Sophie Simnett (“Daybreak”).
Perhaps most interestingly, the titular character will be played by newcomer Raff Law, son of Jude Law.
