A new trailer has arrived for Ebenezer and it looks hilarious. The story is so well-loved that we seem to see a new version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol every few years. The latest stars Johhny Depp as the curmudgeon who reluctantly finds redemption. 

Here's the official synopsis from Paramount: 

Think you know his story? Think again.

This November, Johnny Depp is Ebenezer Scrooge. The name you know, the story you don’t. From Ti West, "Ebenezer" also stars Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Charlie Murphy, with Tramell Tillman and Ian McKellen. 

Ebenezer arrives in theaters on November 13th.

The final trailer for Marvel's VisionQuest has arrived and it seems that Vision is no longer sure who he is. He was brought back to life by Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision. Their son Billy reappeared in Agatha All Along and it looks like Tommy is searching for their father in VisionQuest.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel:

When VisionQuest begins, Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.

VisionQuest stars Paul Bettany, James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire, and James D’Arcy.

The first two episodes of VisionQuest arrives on DisneyPlus on October 14th.
