10 Upcoming Movies That Just Made PERFECT Casting Choices

10. Willem Dafoe - A Christmas Carol

It was recently confirmed that the great Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) will be writing and directing a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and in case that's not enticing enough, the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge is being penned for his regular collaborator Willem Dafoe.

Now, Dafoe will class-up just about any movie he appears in, but this seems like an especially perfect part for him. 

We've seen numerous great iterations of Scrooge over the decades, but Dafoe would absolutely bring a unique energy to the role, in conjunction with Eggers' inevitably dark, singular vision of the story.

It doesn't take a ton of imagination to picture Dafoe playing Scrooge and absolutely knocking it out of the park. We know the man can do intense with the best of them, and why expect any different here?

Hell, could this be the part that finally wins Dafoe the Oscar that's inexplicably eluded him his entire career? What a story that'd be.
