Directed by Ti West (the X trilogy), with a script written by Nathaniel Halpern based on the classic 1843 novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the upcoming film stars Depp as Scrooge – a tightfisted, irritable, and reclusive old man whose cold-hearted obsession with wealth causes him to loathe Christmas and reject anything that inspires joy or goodwill. Now, ahead of its release later this year, a new poster for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol has revealed the first official look at Depp as the classic character Ebenezer Scrooge. Check it out below: On the poster, the tagline reads, "Before he was Scrooge, he was Ebenezer," and on X, the post reads, "The name you know. The story you don't," both of which suggest the upcoming film will focus more on the character's backstory and how he became the old miser that audiences know in A Christmas Carol. More to come...
