Sean Astin as Scrooge on the poster for 'Scrooge: A Christmas Carol'

Sean Astin might be best known for playing Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings, but he'll be playing a character that is the complete opposite of the benevolent Hobbit in Scrooge: A Christmas Carol — a new 4-part audio podcast from Hope Media Group and Compassion International based on Charles Dickens' prolific holiday fable.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Collider's exclusive trailer for the acclaimed podcast, which you can listen to below, reveals both of their voices in all their glory, with Astin being as grumpy as can be as Ebenezer Scrooge and Rhys-Davies adding some impressive bravado to his narration part. The holiday story will see Ebenezer visited by three spirits, all of whom are aiming to cure Scrooge of his chronic distaste for Christmas.

In addition to Sean Astin and John Rhys-Davies, other notable cast members for Scrooge: A Christmas Carol include Into the Woods star Lucy Punch and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian star Ben Barnes. We recently had the privilege of speaking with John Rhys-Davies about what makes Scrooge: A Christmas Carol special. The Indiana Jones star promised that it is made by people who know and love this story, saying it"keeps the truth and heart of the story.

A brilliant script and a wonderful cast makes for a great show and I anticipate that many more families will enjoy it this Christmas season."
