Bill Nighy has called Arthur Christmas one of the best scripts that he has read in ages.
The veteran British actor is back on the big screen this week, well his voice is at least, with the new project Aardman Animations, who have teamed up with Sony Pictures.
It is a second animation project of 2011 for Night after he lent his voice to Rango at the beginning of the year.
And the actor was on the red carpet over the week for the UK premiere for the film and he admits that it was the script that really won him over.
And 2012 is going to be a busy year for the actor as he has already completed work on The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Clash of the Titans 2 and Jack the Giant Killer.
Arthur Christmas is released 11th November.
