Johnny Depp as Ebenezer poster reveal

The spirits are ready, the ghosts are waiting, and a familiar, unforgettable face is set to lead the charge. Paramount Pictures has officially unveiled the first poster for their upcoming cinematic adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic, ushering in a new era of holiday haunting with the film titled Ebenezer.

At the heart of this spectral journey is Johnny Depp, who will embody the melancholic yet ultimately redeemable figure of Ebenezer Scrooge. This isn’t just a retelling; it’s a thrilling ghost story set against the backdrop of Dickensian London, promising a supernatural odyssey where one man must confront his past, navigate his present, and chase the future to fight for a second chance at life.

The scale of the production signals a major event. Depp’s role is complemented by an astonishing ensemble cast designed to bring the world of Victorian London to vibrant, spectral life. Alongside him, Ian McKellen steps into the pivotal role of Jacob Marley, while Andrea Riseborough will bring the ethereal presence of the Ghost of Christmas Past. The ghostly company is further rounded out by Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present and Daisy Ridley as the haunting figure of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

The supporting cast is equally compelling, featuring Rupert Grint as the beloved Bob Cratchit, Sam Claflin as Fred, and a delightful trio including Charlie Murphy, Ellie Bamber, and Nicholas Day. They will also bring life to the Fezziwigs, the Minister, and a young Ebenezer, ensuring that every character in this story feels deeply realized.

Behind the curtain of this spectacle, the project is anchored by a solid script from Nathaniel Halpern and is being produced by Emma Watts. The creative team has already brought the vision to fruition through filming sessions conducted in Dublin and London earlier this year, setting the stage for a truly immersive experience.

Marking one of Depp’s most significant studio lead roles since 2018, Ebenezer promises a blend of historical drama and supernatural suspense. Fans can look forward to an epic tale where familiar faces grapple with profound themes of regret, redemption, and the enduring magic of the holiday season.

Prepare for a journey into the heart of Dickensian history, as Ebenezer is slated for theatrical release on November 13th, 2026.
