Johnny Depp says the characters he has played still live inside him like items in a chest of drawers 💗
“They’re all still in here… like a big chest of drawers in my head. Every character I’ve played has his own drawer.
Edward gave me the safety of being completely open, of seeing the world like it was brand new.
Raoul Duke gave me the safety of just saying whatever came to mind and not caring.
And Jack… Jack just gets away with the things the rest of us can’t.
They’re not gone. They’re still right there. Anytime I need them.”
Johnny Depp is asked where he likes to sit at the cinema and what his preferred snack is. He says he hasn’t been to the movies in years, but he remembers aiming for “the magic spot” right in the middle of the theater, and that the experience was all about popcorn and Coke.
Here are some positive reviews on Johnny Depp’s performance in Ebenezer..
1. Phil Roberts – UK Film Critic
“Johnny Depp is magnetic throughout Scrooge’s soft redemption arc, leading to a finale that delivers more emotional resonance than its predecessors.”
2. Tom Chatalbash – FilmSpeak Chief Film Critic
“Depp is a fiendish delight as Scrooge, delivering a lively performance that thankfully balances the goofy charm and emotional gravitas that has been sorely missed.”
“It’s great to see Depp back on the big screen.”
3. Clarence Moye – Critics Choice Association Member
“And of course Depp is great, standing with George C. Scott as the best of the modern Scrooges.”
4. Tony Mosello – Film Critic
“Centred around a fun, quirky, and energetic Johnny Depp performance.”
5. The HoloFiles
“Johnny Depp is the perfect Scrooge, up there with Alastair Sim and Michael Caine.”
6. Jimmy O – JoBlo
Jimmy O calls it his favourite Johnny Depp performance in a few.
😍👌🏻
“ My main reason for wanting to do the film was to work with Johnny.” ❤️
What a lovely thing to hear! It says so much about the admiration and respect Johnny Depp inspires in his fellow artists. His talent and presence are truly something special. And with the legendary Ian McKellen also joining this wonderful cast ☺️
🎬 Ticket booked! ❤️ Johnny Depp on the big screen? Count me in! 🥰 I’ve been looking forward to seeing him in Ebenezer, and I’m so excited that Friday is finally almost here. There’s just something about watching Johnny bring a character to life that makes the wait worthwhile. I honestly can’t wait! ❤️✨
#EbenezerMovie
Johnny Depp is at the top of his game as #Ebenezer. A spookier, more horror-centric take, Ti West approaches Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with the gothic flourishes of a classic Hammer film. A fresh retelling of the classic story worth seeing.
Johnny Depp says his legacy is the experiences, performances, and truths he left behind from everything he learned from the masters and people he worked with, he’s okay with it and has no regrets. On how he transforms into characters like Scrooge, he explains there’s no secret: since he was about six or seven, he was obsessed with watching, listening to, and imitating people, which became the foundation of his acting.

Ti West’s #Ebenezer is a wonderfully twisted, dark and haunting version of A Christmas Carol.
Johnny Depp perfectly nails Scrooge in a version that scares the audience at times.
Some grisly visual images make the film an early Christmas gift for all.
No coal here!
If we had a nickel for every time Johnny Depp was sucked into a bed for a film role, we'd have two nickels — once in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and again in 'Ebenezer!'
Johnny Depp says he grew up watching the Alastair Sim Christmas Carol and sees Sim as the ultimate Scrooge. For his version, he wanted to go deeper: Scrooge isn’t just a mean miser, but a broken man who stopped caring because it hurt too much. He’s more tragic than hateful, shaped by painful experiences, and the story gives him a chance to understand himself and maybe come back from that darkness. He also talks about collaborating with director Ti West on the character and how small, natural moments started appearing once he fully defined the role.
