Everything We Know So Far About ‘Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol’

What do we know so far about Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol?

Well… forget the cosy fireplaces and cheerful Christmas spirit, because this version sounds absolutely terrifying.

The upcoming movie is a dark, gothic reimagining of the Charles Dickens classic from horror director Ti West — and honestly, it could end up being one of the creepiest Christmas movies ever made.

Johnny Depp is taking on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, with Ian McKellen playing the ghostly Jacob Marley.

And the three spirits haunting Scrooge through the night? They’ll be played by Andrea Riseborough, Tramell Tillman and Robert Strange.

Rupert Grint stars as poor Bob Cratchit, while Sam Claflin plays Scrooge’s hopeful nephew Fred.

The movie is expected to lean heavily into psychological horror, supernatural suspense, grief, regret and redemption — turning the classic ghost story into something much darker and far more unsettling.

And honestly? A horror-style Christmas Carol kind of makes perfect sense.

Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol is currently set to release in cinemas on November 13th, 2026.
