The deal was negotiated by Josh Thomashow, Director of Acquisitions for Cinedigm and Paul Hertzberg of CineTel Films SYNOPSIS A modern-day adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” about a Rock/Pop celebrity, Chance Love (Brittany Underwood), who has grown spoiled, selfish and heartless with her newfound fame and fortune. On Christmas Eve, the doomed ghost of her rock-star Grandfather (Mark McGrath) materializes and forewarns her that she will be visited by three spirits - the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Christmas past (Jim O'Heir) appears first - a slick Crooner in the style of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. He reminds her of the girl she once was and her love of family and Christmas. Christmas present (Mark Christopher Lawrence) follows - a modern day Spoken Word/Hip Hop Artist who takes her on a journey through her present - shining a light on the people closest to her and the struggles that Chance has overlooked. Chance is shown her own vanity and ego and how it has eclipsed her ability to care about anyone or anything other than her career, her paycheck, and herself. Christmas Future (Vivica A. Fox) is her final visitation. The hooded figure takes her to her bleak future, showing her the end of the path that she is currently on. At last, Chance embraces the Christmas spirit. She realizes her love for her friends and family, uses her celebrity and fortune to help those in need and finally uses her music to spread joy and happiness.
