UB Spotlight: Tramell Tillman Talks ‘Ebenezer’
Only In Theaters Tomorrow November 13th.
“Ebenezer” is only in theaters tomorrow November 13th, via Paramount Pictures.
Johnny Depp is Ebenezer Scrooge. The name you know, the story you don’t.
“Ebenezer” is a reimagining of the classic Charles Dickens story, following Ebenezer Scrooge as he is forced to confront his past, present, and future.
Tramell Tillman co-stars and is the first Black actor to portray the Ghost of Christmas Present in a major film adaptation, marking a notable moment in the character’s history.
The film brings a new perspective to the beloved holiday story and explores themes of family and second chances.
From Ti West, “Ebenezer” also stars Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Charlie Murphy, with Ian McKellen.
Tramell Tillman found a darker possibility in the Ghost of Christmas Present; What if guiding others toward humanity was itself a form of penance?
That interpretation opened up an unexpected affinity between the spirit he plays and the character of Scrooge. “Working with Johnny and Ti opened up for collaboration and exploration that those relationships and those stories could exist simultaneously and not take away from Ebenezer’s journey, but enhance it.”
