The film is set to release on November 13, 2026, and it\u2019s being directed by Ti West, known for his edgy horror films like <em data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"324\">X<\/em> and <em data-start=\"329\" data-end=\"336\">Pearl<\/em>. So expect a darker, spookier take on the classic Dickens story.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"758\">This isn\u2019t going to be your usual warm and fuzzy holiday film. It\u2019s described as a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens\u2019 London, following Scrooge as he faces his past, present, and future, and fights for a second chance. Andrea Riseborough has joined the cast, though her role hasn\u2019t been revealed yet, and the script is written by Nathaniel Halpern.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"1156\">For Depp, this is his biggest Hollywood role since his 2022 defamation lawsuit victory. He\u2019s been away from major blockbusters for a while, working on smaller projects, but <em data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"943\">Ebenezer<\/em> feels like a proper comeback. The story of Scrooge is all about redemption, regret, and getting a second chance\u2014something Depp has lived through in his own life, making him feel like a perfect fit for the role.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1503\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Whether this version becomes a new classic or just another take on the old tale remains to be seen. One thing\u2019s for sure, with Depp and Ti West involved, it\u2019s going to be bold, intense, and definitely not boring. After years of ups and downs, this is Depp stepping back into the spotlight in a role that\u2019s both familiar and strikingly different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny Depp is making a big Hollywood comeback, this time playing Ebenezer Scrooge in the upcoming movie Ebenezer: A Christmas\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":97088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
