Overview
- Filming is underway in London, where Depp and Andrea Riseborough were photographed in full costume on Jan. 28.
- Ti West is directing the Paramount-backed adaptation, which assembles a cast that includes Ian McKellen, Daisy Ridley, Rupert Grint, Sam Claflin and Tramell Tillman.
- Set images show Depp in heavy makeup and period wardrobe that render him largely unrecognizable as Ebenezer Scrooge.
- Riseborough appears in ghostly white as the Ghost of Christmas Past, reinforcing reports of a darker, gothic-leaning take.
- The film is being positioned as Depp’s return to major-studio work, with a Nov. 13, 2026 theatrical date reported and a rival Warner Bros. version from Robert Eggers starring Willem Dafoe also in production.
