Actor Johnny Depp appears as Ebenezer Scrooge in the first Johnny Depp Ebenezer trailer, released by Paramount Pictures ahead of the film’s November 13 theatrical debut.
The teaser introduces Depp as the “Master of Misfits” before revealing his version of the bitter Victorian miser. His character declares, “It’s good to be back,” as the footage previews a darker interpretation of Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella.
The cast includes Daisy Ridley as Emily Cratchit, Rupert Grint as Bob Cratchit, Sam Claflin as Fred, Andrea Riseborough as the Ghost of Christmas Past and Ian McKellen as Marley.
