Can Johnny Depp Battle Back from Oblivion with "Ebenezer"? The Original Scrooge McDuck Hasn't Had a Hit Movie in 10 Years, Since "Pirates 5"
Key Points:
- Johnny Depp is attempting a career comeback but has struggled to find success since the 2015 "Pirates of the Caribbean" film, with recent projects failing to gain traction.
- His most notable recent public exposure came from his highly publicized divorce and legal battles with Amber Heard, rather than his film work.
- Depp's upcoming film "Day Drinker" reportedly had a troubled production with multiple editors involved in post-production efforts.
- The new movie "Ebenezer," based on "A Christmas Carol," has review embargoes until its preview release next Thursday, and while the story is well-known, the film lacks a high-profile director to generate buzz.
- Director Ti West, known for TV and music videos, helms "Ebenezer," with some interest sparked by his wife, Alison Wonderland, but overall anticipation remains muted.
