Description
Fifteen years later, Sam Claflin reunites with his Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides co-star Johnny Depp in their upcoming take on a holiday classic, Ebenezer. In this interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, he recalls the very first table read for his feature debut in the Disney franchise, sitting between Depp and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz, and how it felt to finally meet again to play his nephew Fred in the film.
Directed by Ti West, audiences return this month to Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic with Depp as the embittered Ebenezer Scrooge, a man so miserly the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Andrea Riseborough), Present (Tramell Tillman), and Future (Robert Strange) must pay him a surprise visit to forever change the course of his life — for better or worse. Ebenezer also stars Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, and Daisy Ridley.
While talking with Weintraub, Claflin also discusses his own past characters, and which of them he would and wouldn’t like to share a meal with, what it’s like working opposite Depp on set, and shares an interesting tease for his role in Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming action thriller, F.A.S.T.
Ebenezer is now in theaters.
