‘ChromeSkull’ Comes After Image Entertainment
Image Entertainment has acquired all North American distribution rights to ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 (set report), the sequel to the 2008 cult horror film Laid to Rest.
Starring Brian Austin Green (“Desperate Housewives”), Danielle Harris (Halloween II, Hatchet II), Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do, The Poker Club), Gail O’Grady (“NYPD Blue,” “Hellcats”), Owain Yeoman (“The Mentalist”), along with LTR 1 alums Thomas Dekker (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”) and Nick Principe as “ChromeSkull,” the sequel is once again directed by award-winning special effects makeup wizard Robert Hall, and co-written by Hall and Kevin Bocarde, who also co-produced.
“ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 picks up three months after the end of the first film. Tommy (Dekker), who’s struggling with vivid memories of his first encounter with the masked killer, has been abducted by Preston (Green), who harbors a mysterious connection to ChromeSkull (Principe). Meanwhile, the technologically saavy slasher — he videotapes his victims as he’s killing them — has set his sights on Jess (Michaels), and after the young girl disappears, Detective King (Yeoman) races against time to find her and Tommy before it’s too late and try to put an end to ChromeSkull’s blood-soaked legacy.”

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
