“BAH! HUMBUG!” – Johnny Depp is unleashed in ‘Ebenezer’
It was with complete surprise and utter shock that we saw the revelation of noted Hollywood legend Johnny Depp return to the big screen in director Ti West’s Ebenezer, and oh what a character for Depp to portray as the cold-hearted miser who
Watch the all-new trailer for Ebenezer below:
Here’s the official synopsis for Ebenezer:
This November, Johnny Depp is Ebenezer Scrooge. The name you know, the story you don’t.
It was with plenty of surprise that the new trailer for Ebenezer arrived, and this looks like a tantilising and different take presenting an incredibly whimsical, yet gothic take on Charles Dickens classic work, and filmmaker Ti West, who took the horror genre into a bold new direction with his work on X, Pearl and MaXXXine, and he looks to have crafted an environment where Depp can truly take his abilities to conjure up kooky, one-of-a-kind characters, and Ebenezer Scrooge looks like a pitch perfect character for Depp’s talents, and he appears to be having an absolute blast in the part.
Not only does this new trailer showcase an incredibly rich Victorian world, and a fresh take on Charles Dickens’ classic character, but the supporting is also filled with standout talents including the like of Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Charlie Murphy, with Tramell Tillman and Sir Ian McKellen.
In celebration of the arrival of Ebenezer, Depp also took to the stage of San Diego Comic Con and unleashing Scrooge for a very hungry audience, and he made an absolute scene of everything, as only he could, and the result was inspiring, and a taste of what is to come.
Vividly fresh, and with Johnny Depp back at the top of his game, Ebenezer is shaping up to be one of 2026’s most exciting releases, and I’m well excited for how it all unfolds when it arrives in cinemas on November 12.
