Christmas is about to get a whole lot creepier, with Johnny Depp stepping into one of the most famous festive roles of all time.
Depp stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in Ebenezer, a brand new and much darker take on Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol.
But if you’re expecting another cosy Christmas movie, think again.
This Is Not Your Typical Christmas Carol
Directed by horror filmmaker Ti West, Ebenezer appears to take the familiar story and give it a seriously spooky makeover.
The latest trailer shows Scrooge being tormented by the supernatural forces surrounding him, including a terrifying visit from Jacob Marley, played by Ian McKellen.
And things get pretty dark, with the trailer even teasing Scrooge being buried alive.
The film also features an impressive cast including Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin, Andrea Riseborough and Ian McKellen.

Johnny Depp’s Big Return
The movie also marks Depp’s return to a major Hollywood studio film, making his casting as Scrooge one of the biggest talking points surrounding the movie.
Ebenezer is set to hit Australian cinemas on November 12, just in time to make Christmas a little more haunted. 👻
The name you know, the story you know… but apparently, the Christmas Carol you definitely haven’t seen before.
