New films starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain to release this month

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol, starring Johnny Depp, and Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway, will be released simultaneously on the 11th. Both films will make their screen debuts this month.

Based on the novel of the same name by Charles Dickens, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol depicts the story of the miserly Scrooge encountering ghosts on Christmas Eve. While playing Scrooge, Depp stated, "While playing Scrooge, I wanted to find an approach other than just a miserable and greedy old man. No one is born to make others angry from the start." He also added, "The film has deep messages and their meanings are very profound. I also did not want to miss the humor within it."

Mother Mary tells the story of the pop star Mother Mary, who is preparing for a comeback, as she seeks out Sam, a designer and long-abandoned friend. Anne Hathaway plays the role of the world-renowned superstar Mother Mary, transforming into a blonde and undergoing rigorous dance training. It is reported that during filming, she delivered performances akin to actual concerts in front of 400 extras.

Jessica Chastain, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022, returns with the horror film Other Mommy. Other Mommy follows a young girl who encounters an unidentified being in her home that looks exactly like her mother. Chastain plays both the mother and the entity, delivering horror to the audience by oscillating between warmth and eeriness. Directed by British director Rob Savage, the film will be released on the 18th.
