Scrooge’s Christmas

Johnny Depp is Ebenezer Scrooge. A familiar name, but a slightly less familiar story about a man who loves money and hates Christmas. Until, on Christmas Eve, three spirits visit him... “Scrooge’s Christmas” is the latest screen adaptation of Charles Dickens’s timeless tale “A Christmas Carol,” published in 1843. It is directed by Ti West, known for very different kinds of stories (“Pearl,” “X,” “MaXXXine”), and written by Nathaniel Halpern (“Tales from the Loop,” “The Killing”). The cast includes Johnny Depp (“Pirates of the Caribbean”), Rupert Grint (“Harry Potter”), Andrea Riseborough (“The Death of Stalin”), Sam Claflin (“The Count of Monte Cristo”), Daisy Ridley (“Star Wars”), Arthur Conti (“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”), Ellie Bamber (“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”), Henry Lloyd-Hughes (“The Thursday Murder Club”), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Tramell Tillman (“Spider-Man: Brand New Day”), and Ian McKellen (“Lord of the Rings”).
