  "account": "Johnny Depp is set to star as Ebenezer Scrooge in the upcoming film, Ebenezer, which will hit theaters on November 13. In preparation for the role, Depp underwent an extensive makeup and prosthetic transformation. Co-star Trammell Tillman, who plays the Ghost of Christmas Present, remarked on Depp's initial surprise at seeing him fully made up. Prosthetic Designer Barrie Gower shared that Depp actively contributed ideas to the character, such as moles and a longer chin. The film's poster reveals Depp's new Scrooge look alongside his fellow cast members, including Ghosts of Christmas Past (Andrea Riseborough), Present (Trammell Tillman), and Future (Robert Strange). Depp's co-stars have praised his dedication to the role, with Rupert Grint calling it \"such a perfect role for him,\" Ian McKellen describing it as \"the likes of which you've never seen before,\" and Daisy Ridley highlighting his ability to bring larger-than-life characters to life with a \"real human touch.\"",
