Our beloved Grinch is getting a make-over next Christmas. Benedict Cumberbatch will be stepping in to the red and white striped scarf to play the all new Grinch.

The new adaptation will be from Universal Pictures and Illumination, the same cats who brought us Despicable me and Minions.

The description for the movie states; This Grinch isn’t just fueled by spite (although, there is definitely spite). Instead, his grievance with the Whos is largely about the noise they make during the holiday season. It gets louder and louder every year until the Grinch decides he can’t take it anymore. So he’ll simply strip the town of its Christmas cheer once and for all.
