Johnny Depp surprises SDCC as Ebenezer Scrooge, trailer debuts
I am intrigued by the new Avatar series.... ....but Ebenezer gave me some disease from exposure to Johnny Depp.
It is a little sad that after everything Aang and Korra went, the world still went to hell. I expect an Avatar Day level of twist and turns and drama (the episode of Book 2). Also Ebenezer made me appreaciate a lot more Jim Carrey for the restrain he showed.
How long until Johnny Depp voices an Avatar character? That series is CURSED.
But it's the story we haven't heard before! So like, I dunno he fights Krampus or something. Vampires maybe.
You should probably watch some good movies to cleanse your pallet a little bit. Have you considered marathoning pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the chocolate factory, and the Lone Ranger in a single sitting?
made up Narration: on that day the history of the world came to an end, a mystery cataclysm swept through the four nations, and it seem like every human, every spirit was doomed to meet their end until...the avatar use the remainder of power to stop the mystery cataclysm before taking her rest...
It sucks cause it’s from Ti West and also in the cast is Ian Makellen(who could play Scrooge in his SLEEP.)
So, THIS is exactly what I was talking about re: Ellison being a Twitter-brained exec and that being more of a problem than whatever his politics might be. "We NEED to be the Johnny Depp comeback studio!" is a call you make if you think your Twitter feed is real life.
Say again: If Ellison sincerely wanted to pivot/expand to a center-right Boomer/GenX audience because he thinks it's undeserved and there's money there? That's NOT a bad *business* instinct. But if that was his goal, he wouldn't have lost Taylor Sheridan to NBCU - which he did...
So he's trying to play half Jack Sparrow/half his generic Tim Burton character with a director who's neither Gore Verbinski nor Tim Burton? No, this is gonna be bad.
heck, he wants to hire brett (epstein files/melania doc) ratner. i once believe he's smart enough to keep gunn there. now i'm not so sure.
So this asshole's big comeback movie is him doing the same boring "Look at me I'm Jack Sparrow but without the charm and effort!" shitck that people got tired of by Alice in Wonderland? In a movie that looks like a cheap Tim Burton copy to boot. Fuck all the way off. Justice for Amber Heard fr.
You noticed that too? Because, he's doing the same thing AGAIN. The quirky Jack Sparrow personality thing and he applied to Scrooge? What? Fuck this. I'm watching the Robert Eggers version because he's not stupid enough to cast Depp as Scrooge.
It's all he can do these day. Also fuck Depp.
Just gonna watch The Muppet's Christmas Carol again
I want the moviegoers to see this movie and say, "Oh, THAT'S what playing the same character looks like" and everyone doing a "I'm sorry, [actor I was coerced to hate]" post.
Oh, gods, there's a trailer too! Truly we live in hell.
Nothing says "Christmas classic" like a wife beating bastard.
The actual balls to have him saying "I'm back" in the trailer after they list a bunch of quirky off bean characters as though he was out of the spotlight for a couple years because he was convicted of spousal abuse.
Watch the official trailer for EBENEZER. From director Ti West. Johnny Depp stars as Scrooge. Only in theaters November 13.
Ti west what are we doing man
cc Ti West #horrorsky #filmsky
Oh boy Ti... how did this happen. I hope you got paid at least.
One of the three ghosts leaves a little phantom poop on his bed.
Johnny Depp is a prick, and I am still baffled that he won that case.
If I had a nickel for every time Johnny Depp was sucked into a bed.... I'd have two nickels.
And wow is this the most self indulgent thing even by vanity project standards I have ever seen. Like, wow, it's just the same type of character Depp has been playing years ago and playing up that quirky thing he does. Like, that is desperate. And fuck Depp the wifebeater.
"The Master of Misfits." WHO the fuck has EVER called Johnny Depp that? As it is, I can watch any version of A Christmas Carol EXCEPT this one. I've got the Jim Carrey version, the Muppets version, the Mickey Mouse version, and Scrooged. Heck, this year, I plan to watch Spirited.
What are we doing, Ti? Whyyyyyy?
y'all why is @bloodydisgusting.bsky.social promoting a movie with an abusive lead actor, also it's not even a horror movie?
Paramount, this didn't work when you tried it with John Lasseter, and it won't work with Johnny Depp!
"The name you know. The story you don't."-- the trailer for TI West's EBENEZER, which as the poster released earlier today indicates, has lost the "A Christmas Carol" that was part of the title when announced last fall. This is David Ellison's Paramount Pictures! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ly...
how does CGI Jim Carrey feel more human than this
He looks like Danny DeVito's The Penguin.
Why are they remaking the Muppets Christmas Carol without Muppets? Why would anyone do that?
I hope Ian McKellen made bank on this crap.
They need to keep "Uncle Scrooge" out their damn mouths
TI WEST DIRECTED THIS?!? NOOOOOOOOO
Seeing Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp shameless mug in old age makeup in consecutive weeks makes you understand why audiences chose to watch a movie where Chiwetel Ejiofor loses his mind wandering empty hallways this summer.
Yes, we do know the story! What are you people talking about? It's one of the most famous stories in the English language.
This looks *horrifyingly* bad and reinforces my impression that someone (Ti West maybe) never actually watched any previous versions of A Christmas Carol and believes the original was told from Bob Cratchit's perspective or something, making this a gritty reimagining as told from the villain's POV.
It's giving Amazon's "Elle." I'm seriously deliberating which limbs or digits I would sacrifice to avoid watching this movie. Like... Would I sacrifice one baby toe to not have to see "Ebenezer"? Absolutely.
Also, they're trying to brand Depp as "the master of misfits." I mean, that's one way of thinking of him, I suppose....
I'm delighted this isn't called "A Christmas Carol" because it means I'm less likely to accidentally stumble upon it when I browse for a version of A Christmas Carol to put on every year.
Well, this looks like garbage.
We all know the story, tho
This is embarrassing in so many ways that I am actually feeling secondhand shame.
This movie seems time displaced, it would have done numbers in like 2009 but now it just seems extremely weird.
