Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has been adapted countless times into just about every medium out there, which is entirely understandable as the tale is truly timeless. In addition to the straight-forward adaptions of the story, there are just as many which offer up fresh perspectives and play with the plot in interesting ways. One of those is SCROOGED, a modern retelling which was directed by Richard Donner and starred Bill Murray.
THR has reported that a new version of SCROOGED is in the works as Kevin Hart has teamed up with Paramount in order to develop a remake of the classic Christmas comedy. While Hart hasn't officially signed on to star in the film, the project is being eyed as a potential acting vehicle. The search is currently underway for a writer to pen the script. SCROOGED followed Frank Cross, a selfish TV executive who is visited by various ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him to regain his Christmas spirit.

They'll never get the magic the original had. The end scene just makes you feel warm and fuzzy and modern Hollywood just can't do that.

That whole end scene was just perfect with both BIll Murry and Bobcat Goldthwait. It just can't be done again. Lightning in a bottle .

I love Scrooged, but it's already a remake. Just make a black Christmas Carol.

He just got in a car accident. Judging by the pick of the wreck his dwarfism really prevented some sort of decapitation.

And we will have to hear it get gushed over because of that. And someone will inevitably complain that the love interest isn't black enough.

This movie doesn't have to be remade. Why even call it Scrooged? There are lots of versions of A Christmas Carol. Be more creative.

Make one similar to the Beavis and Butthead one:

Van Driessen:
You see, Beavis, some people have very little to be happy about. But they're still celebrating the spirit of Christmas.
Beavis:
He should get fired. You know, for stealing that food. Heh heh heh.
Van Driessen (Ghost of Christmas Presnt):
Beavis, I think you should know that this is the only food the McVicker family has to eat. And because you're such a strict boss, his children may not be around to see next Christmas. Unless, you give him a raise so he can better provide for his family.
Beavis:
No way! He's stealing. And that's a crime. And you want me to give him a raise? I'll fire his ass!
Van Driessen (Ghost of Christmas Present):
Beavis, I can't force you to think a certain way, but I wish you would consider what I've tried to show you. Okay?
Beavis:
Butt-hole.
Santa Butt-Head:
Well, Brian, if you want poop for Christmas, Santa Butt-head would be happy to come by and take a dump under your tree.
Beavis:
Where's their kids?
Buzzcut (Ghost of Christmas Future):
Beavis, don't you get it? They never had enough food to eat, thanks to you.
Beavis:
Oh, wait a second, I get it. So they ate their kids?
Buzzcut (Ghost of Christmas Future):
No, you idiot! They didn't have enough food for their kids. Dammit, Boy, I am trying to show you the future so you can still have time to make changes in your life and have an impact!
Beavis:
The future? This isn't what the future is going to look like. It's gonna be really cool. It's gonna be like... There'll be, like, all these... like, devices... and laser guns...

The ending to Scrooged is one the best endings ever.

The right blend of feel good emotion and off the wall insanity. Bill Murray's combo feel good revelation/psychotic breakdown was masterfully pulled off.

I don't want to say that can't be recaptured...but...uh...yeah no, I'm saying that. You can't recapture that. No knock on Kevin Hart, but he ain't no Bill Murray. He'd probably be better suited as one of the ghosts TBH, or even the Bob Crachet standin (though people would lose their minds that the female character is getting gender flipped...because you can't flip it the other way. That's crazy!)
