After his breakout role in Severance and buzzy appearance in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, booked and busy Emmy-winner Tramell Tillman is haunting Johnny Depp as the Ghost of Christmas Present in upcoming A Christmas Carol reimagining, Ebenezer, humbugging into theaters Nov. 13.
One of Hollywood’s brightest emerging stars, Tillman (who we can’t wait to see as a ghost) teased Depp’s unique approach to playing iconic shilling-pincher, Ebenezer Scrooge, in an exclusive clip you can enjoy below:
“A big part of what he brings to the character is a sense of him having a finite amount of time to be in the story — that his time is limited to be with Scrooge,” said director Ti West (the X trilogy) of Tillman in an interview with EW.
“His perspective is a little bit more like, ‘I don’t really care if you learn your lessons because I deal with people like you all the time.’ He’s almost in a Groundhog Day.”
In Ebenezer, Johnny Depp is the deliciously unpleasant Ebenezer Scrooge in a thrilling reimagining of the most iconic ghost story of all time.
On one unforgettable Christmas Eve, Ebenezer collides with his past, present, and future on a supernatural journey that will decide his ultimate fate. If you think you know his story, think again.

Generating buzz with its intriguing premise, Ebenezer also stars Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Charlie Murphy, with Tillman and Ian McKellen.
