Johnny Depp revealed as Scrooge in Ebenezer poster
First poster for ‘EBENEZER’, a new film based on ‘A Christmas Carol’ starring Johnny Depp. “Before he was Scrooge, he was Ebenezer”
Johnny Depp is like the Jared Leto of Mark Wahlbergs
lol a scrooge origin? a movie that will try to make you relate to a character who’s entire point is that he abandoned his humanity because of his wealth and that character is played by known abuser?
Was Scrooge not his last name to begin with? Was his first name not still Ebenezer in the book? What's going on?
Paramount is really committed to this bankruptcy speedrun.
Who the fuck was demanding an Scrooge origin story? Who even is the audience for this??
1) Ebenezer is literally is name? Scrooge is literally is last name? 2) FUCK Johnny Depp for abusing Amber Heard and then trying to lie and smear her with the help of his gamergate asshole buddies.
i got no more jokes for shit like this, just going to kms
"Before he was Scrooge" Scrooge is his surname you overcooked walnuts
Before he was SquarePants, he was SpongeBob
Before he was Hitler, he was Adolf.
Fucking rude to bring up his deadname like that
The worst person you know just tagged their friend on Facebook excitedly about seeing this
Not for nothing, but at 63, Johnny Depp is older than many of the actors who have played Scrooge, including Michael Caine in A Muppet Christmas Carol.
Someone's getting fired for this tagline...
Directed by Widows Bay Episode Six himself for some reason
OFFICIAL POSTER - Johnny Depp is Scrooge in director Ti West's A Christmas Carol movie EBENEZER, in theaters November 13, 2026 from Paramount. Andrea Riseborough, Ian McKellen, Sam Claflin, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley and Tramell Tillman also star.
So...This tagline is A-Grade DUMB. The character's name is Ebenezer Scrooge, so he was ALWAYS Scrooge.
This is the kind of film where if someone I knew went to see it I would be suspicious of them for years after
An hour and a half of a guy who sucks, plus it's about Ebenezer Scrooge
He would have been Scrooge before he was Ebenezer, as his family name was decided even before conception. (I already feel like I put more thought into this movie than they have.)
Holy shit this looks stupid
I usually like Ti West‘s stuff but … why
Families will love watching a man become a bitter capitalist!
Johnny Depp made it clear that he is an awful human being during the Depp heard trial. He deserves no one's time or money.
Al margen de que Depp no parece muy cancelado…vaya mierda de promoción. “Antes de su apellido era…su puto nombre!”
This sounds like something Ti West’s character in YOU’RE NEXT would have to listen to Joe Swanberg’s character rave about.
I'm sorry, but wasn't he both Ebenezer and Scrooge at the same time for his whole life? Isn't that how names most often work?
Our obsession with granting fictional villains excuses for their villainy is becoming fucking ridiculous.
TI WEST!? Lmao are you being held at gunpoint for this? Do we need rescue you? I am CONFUSED!?
Literally no one asked for any of this????? (I legit had to double check if this was real because I am amazed any studio would waste this much money on this concept and this leading man.)
We live in the dumbest fucking time line.
i forgot she was in this 🫥
1. He was always called Ebenezer Scrooge 2. A Christmas Carol already neatly contains his origin story 3. Johnny Depp is toxic. Enjoy his old films if you want (Sleepy Hollow) but let him fade into nothingness now.
Scrooge is a better man than Depp, ultimately.
You are quite correct. The ghost already shows us how Ebenezer became bitter. My reaction to this movie:
I feel the same way about *everything* which glorifies villains. Real or imaginary.
You know, I have a bad feeling about Johnny Depp. I mean first of all he is really good friends with Marilyn Manson who is a narcissistic abuser…
Honestly, I'd already come to the "let him fade" conclusion after seeing Pirates of the Carribean. Besides we have Jude Law to watch... we do still have Jude Law don't we?
First poster for Ti West’s ‘EBENEZER’ has been released. Starring Johnny Depp as Scrooge. #Ebenezer #JohnnyDepp
The origin story of Ebenezer Scrooge was already covered by the Ghost of Christmas Past.
ghost: i am the ghost of battered girlfriends past scrooge: help! this ghost is abusing me
Ah yea the dark and gritty reboot of... A Christmas Carol. Now with 50% more ghosts and grime!
Befare he was Scrooge he was still Scrooge. It's literally his own surname.
if only A Christmas Carol had thought to have, say, flashbacks to his childhood and events that shaped him or even - stick with me - a ghost of his former business partner advising him to renounce the avarice which has defined him
The First of the Three Spirits IS the "prequel". "Before he was scrooge" he was a lonely boarding school boy, his beloved sister died, he enjoyed a Christmas ball hosted by fatherly boss Mr. Fezziwig, he fell in love but chose gold over his fiancée & saw her happy life without him. It's the story!
I would contest this. He became Ebenezer and Scrooge at precisely the same time. They are different parts of one guy's name
If only there were flashbacks or any plot points about Scrooge’s past in A Christmas Carol
Ti West is short for Titanium West
Wow I hate him already
BEFORE HE WAS MR ASSHOLE BEFORE HE WAS MR BITCH
once after an absolutely brutal day, @juskewitch.bsky.social invited me out to a bar in adams morgan, a neighborhood he knew I hated but lord i needed it. so i called an uber and texted adam: "ebenezer's on his way." and he was like "ok chill dude." but i wasn't being glib. he really was coming.
This is like seeing the poster for Schwarzenegger's Hamlet in The Last Action Hero.
Johnny Depp being a shithead makes it so easy to opt out of the parade of terrible movies he’s made over the last 20 years. Quick, name his last good work.
