"An American Carol" is coming to a theater near you, whether you like it or not.
A zany comedy that promises to offend Hollywood's liberal sensibilities -- coming just one month before the presidential election -- there's more riding on "Carol" than one might expect.
For one, it's the first wide release distributed by Vivendi Entertainment, which launched as a theatrical distribution company in March. Vivendi will open "Carol" on 2,000 screens Oct. 3.
And "Carol" is the first theatrical production from Mpower Pictures, the studio co-founded by Mel Gibson's longtime producing partner Steve McEveety.
It's loosely based on "A Christmas Carol," only instead of Ebenezer Scrooge learning an appreciation for Christmas, a Michael Moore-type filmmaker who is visited by the ghosts of George Washington, George Patton and President Kennedy must learn to appreciate the USA.
"Carol" isn't the only politically charged film set for wide release before voters head to the polls Nov.

NEW YORK -- In the latest sale from the Tribeca Film Festival, Colin K. Gray and Megan Raney Aarons' docu Freedom's Fury, from exec producers Lucy Liu and Quentin Tarantino, has garnered a Hungarian distribution deal with Best Hollywood. The film, narrated by Olympic gold medalist Mark Spitz, chronicles the 1956 Olympic water polo match between Hungary and the Soviet Union set against the backdrop of the Hungarian Revolution. The event often is referred to as "the bloodiest game in Olympic history." "We've been working on it for five years," Liu said. "It's about the idea of students struggling for freedom, and it's a passion project for all of us. We're thrilled to secure such a wide theatrical release in Hungary this fall, which will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution."...
