Mylène Farmer signed the song for the movie "Scrooge", with Johnny Depp

French pop icon Mylene Farmer has written and performed the original song for the upcoming fantasy film Scrooge. The track was composed with DJ Lewis. The movie stars Johnny Depp and Rupert Grint and will open in theaters on November 11, 2026. A press release issued on October 21 described the partnership with director Ti West as natural, citing shared artistic interests in mystery, dark atmospheres, black romance, literary references, and human suffering. Depp portrays the repulsive Ebenezer Scrooge in this adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He joins a cast that includes Daisy Ridley, known for her role as Rey in Star Wars, and Ian McKellen, famous for playing Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. This role marks Depp's continued return to cinema following his high-profile defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard regarding domestic violence allegations. Since winning that case in 2022, the actor had been kept away from major studios like Disney during his legal battle. He recently finished filming Day Drinker with Marc Webb and Penelope Cruz, which is scheduled for release in March 2027. Ti West, who directed horror films such as X, Pearl, and MaXXXine, helms Scrooge. According to Paramount, the plot follows Scrooge as he confronts his past, present, and future while fighting for a second chance. The story unfolds as a thrilling ghost tale set in Dickensian London. Another adaptation of the classic novel is currently in development under the direction of Robert Eggers, known for The Lighthouse and The Witch. Willem Dafoe is attached to play the title character in that project. Farmer releases her thirteenth studio album, Egregore, on October 30. This comes four years after her previous record, L'Emprise. She has already released the singles C'est a qui le tour and Des lols et des quoi. The new work features a collaboration with DJ Snake. Her music video for C'est a qui le tour was directed by Julia Ducournau. The singer has sold nearly 35 million records worldwide. Twenty-one of her singles have reached number one on sales charts, including eight consecutive hits. She holds the distinction of being the only female artist to top French album sales charts across five different decades. Her 2023 and 2024 stadium tour, Nevermore, attracted 650,000 spectators over fourteen concerts. The run concluded with three shows at the Stade de France, making it the largest stadium tour ever achieved in France by a female artist.
