Web site Entertainment Asylum recently had an interview with Ron Howard, director of the upcoming Carrey film �How the Grinch Stole Christmas.� In it he stated that he has been looking over concept art for the film.
This has been only the beginning of the live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss� classic story, �How the Grinch Stole Christmas.� This past Monday, Jim Carrey tried on his costuming and makeup for his roll as the infamous Grinch. Pre-production is well underway.
Ron Howard (�Apollo 13�) is directing �Grinch,� and producing will be Brian Grazier (�Liar, Liar�). Universal purchased the rights for �Grinch� from Dr. Seuss� widow for $5 million, plus a part of the ticket gross and merchandising. Carrey will receive $20 million up front for acting services rendered.
The film itself will be an ambitious live-action film coupled with computer generated special effects to create Dr. Seuss� imaginative world. Release date for the film has been set for Thanksgiving, 2000.
