Overview
- Paramount unveiled the first poster and a Hall H trailer for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol and scheduled the film for a November 13, 2026 theatrical release.
- Director Ti West and writer Nathaniel Halpern present the project as a horror-tinged dark fantasy rather than a conventional family holiday film.
- Johnny Depp wiped his Instagram grid to spell “BAH HUM BUG,” made an unannounced in-character appearance at an 1880s-style Gaslamp activation, and introduced the trailer at Comic-Con on July 23, 2026.
- The cast includes Ian McKellen, Andrea Riseborough, Tramell Tillman, Daisy Ridley, Rupert Grint, Sam Claflin and others, and principal photography reportedly took place in Dublin and London earlier this year.
- Paramount’s coordinated marketing puts Depp at the center of a studio-backed comeback campaign and could shape how mainstream audiences and exhibitors receive a darker take on a well-known holiday property.
