Johnny Depp meets three spirits as Scrooge in 'Ebenezer'
Johnny Depp stars as Scrooge in Ti West’s adaptation, which Paramount says leans into ghosts, gloom and a gray moral divide.
- Paramount released the first full trailer for Ebenezer on Thursday, featuring Johnny Depp as the titular character in Ti West's darker interpretation of the Charles Dickens classic.
- West told Entertainment Weekly recently he read A Christmas Carol yearly, initially viewing it as a ghost story rather than holiday comfort. He stressed that Ebenezer "isn't trying to dismantle Dickens" but remains faithful to the source text.
- Ian McKellen plays Jacob Marley, making his first appearance in any A Christmas Carol adaptation, while Rupert Grint stars as Bob Cratchit. Nathaniel Halpern wrote the screenplay, with West calling Marley "kind of a son of a bitch" in this version.
- Known for his work on Pearl and MaXXXine, West leans into the "ghosts, gloom, and strange comic energy" surrounding the film. Ebenezer opens only in theaters November 13, 2026.
- Tramell Tillman stars as the Ghost of Christmas Present, whose limited time on Earth makes him impatient with Scrooge's antics. The film explores moral gray areas, letting Scrooge occasionally make persuasive arguments.
