“The master of misfits returns…” Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer for the Ebenezer movie, also known as Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, a fresh & extra grumpy dark comedy update on this classic A Christmas Carol story from Charles Dickens. Direct from the San Diego Comic-Con where Johnny Depp made an appearance to kick off the promo for this movie coming up in the fall. From horror director Ti West comes Ebenezer –”The name you know, the story you don’t.” Bah! Humbug! A thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, following one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future as he fights for a second chance at redemption. Johnny Depp makes a return starring as Scrooge. The massive British ensemble cast also includes Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Charlie Murphy, along with Tramell Tillman and Ian McKellen as Jacob Marley (of course). This is an amusing first look reveal and it doesn’t seem that bad at all. Ti West cookin’ up a Hollywood-sized holiday spectacle –with ghosts and all. What do you think?
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Ti West’s Ebenezer movie, direct from Paramount’s YouTube:
