Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol brings Charles Dickens? immortal festive ghost story back to the big screen in a bold new adaptation starring Johnny Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge. The film is directed by acclaimed horror filmmaker Ti West, best known for the stylish modern horror trilogy X, Pearl and MaXXXine, bringing a darker, gothic edge to Dickens? classic tale. The film also features a strong ensemble cast including Andrea Riseborough, Tramell Tillman, and the legendary Sir Ian McKellen, with further additions such as Daisy Ridley, Rupert Grint and Sam Claflin joining the production. The story follows the infamous miser Scrooge as he is confronted by supernatural visitors?the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come?forcing him to confront the choices that have shaped his lonely life. While the film remains faithful to Dickens? 1843 novella, this version is expected to lean more heavily into the ghost story elements of the original, presenting Victorian London as a darker, atmospheric world filled with supernatural dread and emotional redemption. Ti West?s involvement is particularly intriguing given his reputation for stylish horror filmmaking, suggesting this may be one of the most haunting cinematic interpretations of A Christmas Carol yet made. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas November 13, 2026, perfectly timed for the start of the festive season and marking a major Hollywood return for Depp in one of literature?s most iconic roles.
