Guys you won't believe it: They're remaking A Christmas Carol with a race-bent Scrooge who "hates refugees."
They say the movie will simultaneously be "very diverse" but also very faithful to Dickens. I believe one of those two claims is true.

The novel's main protagonist, Scrooge, will be portrayed as a "Tory who hates refugees" in the new film, Chadha said.
Chadha said the production will otherwise stick to Dickensian themes given the "cost of living crisis in the UK".
The director said her misanthropic Tory lead will be played by an actor of Indian descent, and suggested that the film could be continued as a critique of Rishi Sunak.
Speaking to MPs on the Digital Media and Sport Committee, Chadha said: "I'm making A Christmas Carol but my Scrooge is an Indian Tory who hates refugees."
