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”
geekysteven1662Johnny Depp is like the Jared Leto of Mark Wahlbergs
Tommy700lol 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?
Harold Krell468Was Scrooge not his last name to begin with? Was his first name not still Ebenezer in the book? What's going on?
Katherine 🪴2141) 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.
googamp32.bsky.social197Paramount is really committed to this bankruptcy speedrun.
Morgan K. Bell79so what is it a whole movie of just the Ghost of Christmas Past bits? Like we already know Scrooge's backstory! That's kind of a major point of the entire book!
Corey Brickley237do you think they will go the Cruela route and we will learn that his father was killed by a pack of feral urchins
Olive Rae Brinker27“before he was scrooge” is such a funny tagline for a movie about a guy with the last name scrooge. it implies his last name was changed to scrooge later in life. perhaps through marriage
Tred16Someone walked into a meeting room full of executives and said "Christmas Carol Trilogy" and nobody stopped them.
Etch! 🔞 🦊💥13David Ellison has such bad taste in movies 😭
Matt Sheridan11A story nobody asked for. An actor nobody wants to see again. A movie for absolutely no one. There are gonna be NEGATIVE people in those theaters.
KNUCKLEBONE8Famously, ‘A Christmas Carol’ has nothing to do with Scrooge’s back story or past actions so it’s a rich vein to explore.
Biowlogist θΔ6A movie that could only be made for people who really enjoy watching a known abuser in the central role of a completely pointless, dreary, cruel, & unnecessary drama with an inevitable outcome. The Fox News crowd will be thrilled.
Taylor Ledbetter5*sees the tiny little Fascimount logo* Yep, that tracks.
Nolan Void4No one needs this. Everything that mattered about his youth is told in the story. I’m also only commenting about how this implies his name wasn’t Scrooge so no one thinks I missed that angle.
Chrystal Williams 🏳️⚧️4You notice how this is Depp’s first real project in years? It’s because it’s widely known in the industry that he’s a horrible person who is difficult to work with.
What happened in Ebenezer Scrooge’s life to make him who he is today? Unfortunately Dickens doesn’t give us even a tiny bit of background. 🤷🏻♂️
Wield my dahk powah15Was he ever a schoolboy? Engaged? Apprenticed? We just don't know!
dr. thrasher also believes netanyahu is a war criminal10This 2019 BBC series with Guy Pearce is as brilliant as it is devastating: as a kid Ebenezer’s father sends him to a boarding school and leaves him there over Christmas so the headmaster can rape him in exchange for free room & board. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Chris...
Shamey9I am the ghost of Christmas I don't know, dude, like, whatever.
THR4I can’t wait to see Fezziwig tearing at his hair and wailing YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE
JediKat4The 1951 British film SCROOGE has a decent (and bleak) imagined backstory: Hated by his father and sent off to boarding school because Scrooge's mother died giving birth to him, a romance that failed because of his obsession with money, and his beloved younger sister dying in childbirth.
MoreartbyBrentAMoore3AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE! NOBODY'S EVER SEEN THE MAN!
I genuinely cannot fathom what on earth this movie is supposed to be. Because, like, it has all the aesthetic gestures of like an origin story or prequel, but the plot of Dickens' Christmas Carol is LITERALLY BASED ON AN ORIGIN STORY FOR EBENEZER SCROOGE you get the WHOLE THING
TBSkyen124so i guess i'll put down my bet that the plot of the movie is about how scrooge had good intentions the whole time and was never ACTUALLY evil, because his industrious labor created jobs in the economy and encouraged the idle poor to make more of an effort to become small business entrepreneurs
IckyTree4This movie is supposed to be a paycheck for johnny depp. Either that or this is the start of the chrismas carol connected universe.
Joma3They need a movie that justifies why being rich and miserable is a good thing for society actually. I guess. Or something. I don't know.
selfproclaimed2The trailer just dropped and it's just another adaptation of Christmas Carol It's not a prequel or an origin story. It's just Christmas Carol but Depp is goofing it up as Scrooge. John Marketing on the poster is trying to sell it as anything but
SetArk - Unseelie Fae1Why I smell billionaire capitalism propaganda?
Revenante1"Before he was Scrooge, he was... EBENEZER!" ...No? That's not how names and surnames work, no? He kinda was always BOTH, y'know?
No, I'm sorry, the roles of Ebenezer and Scrooge have already been filled. Good day.
🤍3They’re out here completely missing the point of Scrooge I’m so tired 😭 I’m not even usually a hater so this one is rly bad LOL
Cin E. File1Also Richard Williams’ version I love.
Bart Harley Jarvis11It’s that simple and I am old enough to say I am not trying anything new, especially anything with Johnny Depp. No thank you.
VGAfanatic6No disrespect to Johnny Depp (or even Jim Carrey), but these are my definitive Scrooges. Michael Caine edges out McDuck for having his story be three times the length, of course.
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.
AFairlySaneBenjamin99So...This tagline is A-Grade DUMB. The character's name is Ebenezer Scrooge, so he was ALWAYS Scrooge.
Morgan Johnson72This is the kind of film where if someone I knew went to see it I would be suspicious of them for years after
goblinesque66An hour and a half of a guy who sucks, plus it's about Ebenezer Scrooge
Adam Reck57Ti West: Gee I wonder what would endear my horror fans after the amazing good will I’ve developed making the Maxine trilogy? Oh I know, I’ll do a completely unnecessary Dickens prequel starring an abusive has been.
Matt46He 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.)
The Bore of Whabylon31Great, a big dumb origin prequel movie for the character that already has a big dumb origin flashback built into every movie he's ever been in.
LB 🩵🖤💖💜🧡512movies all look like this now
ALCA, Goddess of Lust 💜38the more you think about this the funnier it is why do we need a christmas carol prequel, what's he gonna do, become a rich bastard? how was he not Scrooge? That's his last name, does he start without a last name? Why johnny depp??? Everyone hates johnny depp now
Tyler, from the Internet29The only way I want to watch this is if Scrooge, in the end, refuses to change, learns no lessons, and then is run over by a carriage on Christmas Day, and the rest of the film is just the Muppet Christmas Carol.
politiburb28Everyone else in the cast yeah I get why they'd go for the easy paycheck but Tramell Tillman, you are a legit up-and-coming star, you do not need to do this to yourself
Ladz ❄️🖤🩸22WHAT DO YOU MEAN BEFORE THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN HIS LAST NAME LIKE THE SELFISH AND MISERLY THING CAME AFTER IS EVERYONE ILLITERATE
uosdɯᴉS ɐuɐꓷ 🦄21What, was he raised with his birth father’s name of Wilkinson, and only took the Scrooge name later when his mom married Bob Scrooge?
Undead mother19Every now and then a movie is made that legit feels like a parody/joke film you'll see in the background of a cartoon because what do you mean?! The story is literally about his past, present, and future. It's wrapped up in a nice Christmas bow.
Waggtoon (Summer Commission SALE OPEN!)18I recently saw the trailer, which included this tagline and I'm like... I'm pretty sure we know this story. Like, I'm pretty sure this is literally the most adapted story in the history of the fucking planet! There's practically an adaptation for every day of the year (maybe even more than that!).
José B. Rebolledo17"before he was Wonka, he was... Willy" This is so stupid...
agnès varda fantasiada de batata13um filme 100% invenção dos caras
I am intrigued by the new Avatar series.... ....but Ebenezer gave me some disease from exposure to Johnny Depp.
Gonza Gonzalez4It 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.
Gaia_BentosZX54How long until Johnny Depp voices an Avatar character? That series is CURSED.
raptorkvn.bsky.social4But it's the story we haven't heard before! So like, I dunno he fights Krampus or something. Vampires maybe.
slimeking.bsky.social2You 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?
We are Little Witch Academia!2made 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...
chrishjellum.bsky.social1It sucks cause it’s from Ti West and also in the cast is Ian Makellen(who could play Scrooge in his SLEEP.)
watch this wifebeating mofo try and turn fucking ebenezer scrooge into a sexy bad boy
Relevant Ferret If Known9God I decree here and now I will not abide a Tumblr Sexyman'd Ebenezer Scrooge.
🔞Good Girl Elliotte🔞8I don't even understand this film as like, a concept. The origin story of Scrooge? So we are just watching a guy become a rich asshole mean enough that supernatural beings had to intervene? Who wants to watch a film where a guy goes through the opposite of character development?
Cassandra Summerhill5Like, we already know his backstory, it's called literally the entire first fucking ghost
Ash - Cartoon Anthropomorphic Bunny2This wifebeating bitch is like 60 now, too.
That Squirrel's a Yinglet2The tagline is so silly because Scrooge was literally his last name, so he wasn't "Ebenezer" before being Scrooge lmao
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.
Scott4Scrooge is a better man than Depp, ultimately.
Hot Lead Actual 🍁 🇺🇦 🌈4You are quite correct. The ghost already shows us how Ebenezer became bitter. My reaction to this movie:
Cozmic Caztaway2But Holly, the puppies murdered her mom! That's why she's so mean! ...oh wait, wrong movie, yet somehow not.
Brian, nope too perilous2I feel the same way about *everything* which glorifies villains. Real or imaginary.
Lucy ᵀᴴᴱ Optimist 🩵1You 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…
Alex Wasyliw1Honestly, 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?
