It does seem like a parody. Isn’t the backstory of Ebenezer Scrooge throwing his life and relationships away for profit? I can see some opportunities for showing how stupid that is, but without the epiphany moment of A Christmas Carol, will he just end the story as a bitter old man?
Or is this just a retelling of the whole story at which point it’s yet another remake that doesn’t need to be made…
I mean Christmas Carol itself explores his childhood, first love, engagement, ascension to the business world, the break down of his relationship and him choosing money over it, his sister, his extended family, his surrounding social circle and the death of his only friend. What other backstory is there?
