Johnny Depp appears set to return to the mainstream as Ebenezer Scrooge in Paramount Pictures’ adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” helmed by horror movie director Ti West.

The 62-year-old “Pirates of the Caribbean” star — whose career suffered for years in the wake of abuse allegations leveled by ex-wife Amber Heard — is said to be in final talks to star in “Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol,” according to Variety and Nexus Point News.

Andrea Riseborough, similarly no stranger to controversy albeit of lighter fare, is also set to star.

While West is primarily known for making horror films, including the recent “X” trilogy, it’s not yet clear whether his version of “A Christmas Carol” will flirt with the gory genre.

The movie, which Paramount hopes to release next November, will mark Depp’s first role from a major studio since 2018’s “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.”

He has slowly but surely been returning to the cinematic forefront after Heard, now 39, seemingly accused him of domestic abuse in an op-ed for The Washington Post, just over a month after the release of that film.

The allegations, after which Depp was fired from both the “Fantastic Beasts” and “Pirates” franchises, resulted in the exes facing off in a 2022 joint defamation trial that captivated the internet and led both performers to becoming persona non grata.

Riseborough, for her part, may best be known now for her eyebrow-raising Best Actress nomination at the 2023 Academy Awards. Her consideration campaign for “To Leslie” was accused of violating Academy rules by somehow enlisting a slew of celebrities to publicly sing her praises and increase her chances of a nomination.

The nod spurred a probe, which found “tactics that caused concern,” though the nomination was not rescinded.

Everybody loves a reunion — and the “Everybody Loves Raymond” team is giving the people what they want.

Ray Romano, who starred as sports journalist Ray Barone, and creator Phil Rosenthal will host “Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion” on Nov. 24 at 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET, to commemorate both the 29 years since the Long Island-set sitcom premiered on Sept. 13, 1996 and the two decades since the show took its final bow in May 2005.

“Audiences are invited back to the recreated Barone living room for an unforgettable evening with America’s favorite family,” reads CBS’ press release.

There will be a “moving tribute” to the late Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who starred as Ray and Robert’s overbearing mother and sardonic father Marie and Frank — “fan favorites and the emotional anchors of the series.”

Brad Garrett and Patricia Heaton, who starred as Ray’s brother Robert and Ray’s wife Debra, will take part in the special’s “candid conversations,” as will Madylin and Sullivan Sweeten.

The Sweetens played Ray and Debra’s kids Ally and Michael, along with their late brother Sawyer, who played Michael’s twin Geoffrey. Sawyer died by suicide in 2015 at age 19.

“Raymond” earned 69 Emmy nominations and 15 wins — including twice taking home the award for Outstanding Comedy Series — during its nine-season run.

Speaking to the Daily News in October 2020, Emmy winner Rosenthal ruled out a reboot or remake “because we’re missing key ingredients” in the absences of Boyle and Roberts, who died in 2006 and 2016, respectively: “There is no show without them.”

“There’s an old showbiz axiom, by the way: get off the stage before somebody says, ‘Get off the stage.’ And we did. CBS wanted us to continue,” said Rosenthal. “And we wanted to stop before we became lousy.”
