 Universal
Pictures bought the rights to Dr. Seuss's "How
the Grinch Stole Christmas" for five million dollars.
Audrey Geisel, the widow of the tale's author, Theodor Seuss
Geisel (who died in 1991), better known as Dr. Seuss apparently
wanted Jim Carrey to play the lead. Mrs. Geisel has been reluctant
to make movie deals for the 47 internationally bestselling books
that the Pulitzer Prize-winning Geisel wrote and illustrated.
Tim Allen has an option on "The
Cat in the Hat" at DreamWorks and Ben Myron has an option
on "Oh
the Places You'll Go".
A Grinch who hates Christmas decides to keep the holiday from
coming to Who-ville by sneaking into the town on Christmas Eve
to steal everything that's associated with the holiday.
