Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing The Grinch. And here's what he'll look like...
Illumination - the folks behind the Despicable Me films, of course - have been showing off some of their key characters to licensors over the past week, the better to encourage the continued manufacture, distribution, sale, enjoyment and, eventually, landfill-clogging destruction of their merchandise. And in a new piece of artwork - that you can see at the top there, and in full down at the bottom - that's been placed as an advert in Global License, we get our first look at the studio's CG take on The Grinch, from next year's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas do-over.
Following Boris Karloff, sort-of-Tim Curry, Jim Carrey and Seth Green, the latest actor to play (well, voice in this instance) Dr. Seuss' immortal, Christmas-derailing hermit, will be Benedict Cumberbatch. Seems only natural. Shame that...

In the era of the reset button, everybody loves a do-over, especially baby boomers, who can turn to spas, smoothies, surgeons and Spanx to keep reliving their eternal youth.
And no boomer loves a mulligan better than that Yuletide gremlin, the Grinch.
Born fully grown in Dr. Seuss' book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" in 1957, then given a new animated life by Chuck Jones in 1966 (there was a Jim Carrey movie version in 2000, but we'll leave that one unwrapped under the tree), everybody's favorite holiday crank has been terrorizing the sweet Whos of Whoville since the Cold War and shows no signs of slowing down now.
In all that time, two things have never changed about the Grinch: He starts out mad, then he gets glad. What happens in the middle is Christmas, which even old Grinchy-claws decries as an overcommercialized holiday, full of clanging bells and crashing cymbals.

Pack up the tree and dump the eggnog, folks. Christmas is over! .Or is it? Christmas Do-Over (2006) Director: Catherine Cyran Stars: Jay Mohr, Daphne Zuniga, Adrienne Barbeau Groundhog Day meets A Christmas Carol meets human wastewater. If you want to hate yourself every holiday season, ABC Family's original Christmas programming is a great place to start. There's truly no better repository of fake cheer and heavy handed messages starring a sad group of D-level...
