Jack Thorne is one of the busiest writers for stage (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and screen (His Dark Materials) lately when it comes to major adaptations -- and his latest work on Broadway is no exception.

The Taboo boys are back on FX with another odd project — a gritty movie version of A Christmas Carol, with Guy Pearce as an exceptionally evil Scrooge, F-words, and shadows so dark it might be hard to see what's going on. This might be good, or it might be terrible! Either way, it's probably worth watching. It premieres Dec. 19, FX announced Wednesday.

Fortunately for those of us who are cheap (Scrooge would truly be proud), there are ways to ~hack the system~ and get your Christmas Carol fix for free. Ish.

Steven Knight has said that he did not set out to “vandalise” A Christmas Carol with his BBC adaptation.
