You haven't seen 'A Christmas Carol' like the one on FX
That’s the question facing any new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ famed 1843 novella. And for Steven Knight, the writer of the new, three-hour version airing Thursday on FX, the answer is, inevitably, yes.
“Every change is rooted in the book,” Knight says. “What I’ve done is a thorough examination of the text. In Dickens there are paragraphs that don’t move the plot along and you sort of skip over them, and they often contain incredible amounts of material. I really approached this with reverence and tried to only use things that had sources within the text.
“In terms of the creative team that we assembled, it was always going to have that kind of a feel,” producer Dean Baker says. “That was very much our aesthetic and our choice. It came from that initial conversation that we had where Steven said, ‘It’s kind of like “Taboo.”’ I also think for myself, Tom and Kate Crowe, who works for Ridley, that’s our taste as well.”
