Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings) and Tramell Tillman (“Severance”) are joining Johnny Depp and Andrea Riseborough in Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, Deadline reports.
The new take on Charles Dickens‘ 1843 novel will be released on November 13, 2026 via Paramount.
Ti West (X, The House of the Devil) is directing from a script by Nathaniel Halpern (“Legion,” “Tales from the Loop”).
A thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, the film follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present, and future and fight for a second chance.
Depp will star as Ebenezer Scrooge. Sources say Tillman will play the Ghost of Christmas Present. Riseborough and McKellen’s roles are unknown at this time.
Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman serve as executive producers with Emma Watts producing.
Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol is not the only dark version of the classic Christmas story on the horizon, as Robert Eggers is developing a version starring Willem Dafoe.
