'The Grinch': Benedict Cumberbatch on what makes this rendition of the Dr Seuss Christmas classic different

Benedict Cumberbatch succeeds Jim Carrey as the foul one with garlic in his soul, and he tells us how this movie is different.

Well, it isn’t quite that time of the year yet, but as the holiday increasingly gets more commercial, Christmas trees and tinsel have begun appearing across shopping centers, malls, everywhere, fake snow and all, and there is no stopping it. There is, however, the man who tried stopping Christmas and he is going to be showing up soon with his termite-ridden smile again. Yes, that monster as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, is back to steal Christmas as it disrupted his tranquil solitude with its increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations.
