Our knockers are set to be used for the new film version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol … which many of us probably know best from the Disney version with as Ebenezer Scrooge (hmm, I wonder where Disney managed to come up with that Christian name for their duck?!!).

The film is set for release in 2009… with Jim Carrey playing Ebenezer Scrooge, we are not sure whether the movie will be of the serious, poetic sort, or the Christmas Grinch sort.

Either way, it will have some serious, genuine antique furniture in it! Our locks are being modelled for use in the character Scrooge’s office, and some of our chandeliers are also being used as a reference for set builders.

Filming will begin next year … wish our hardware luck on its imaginary plane journey, and make sure to see the film when it comes out.
