Tramell Tillman has joined the cast of Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, and people are not happy about it for one reason.
The Paramount adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens novel will be directed by horror director Ti West (MaXXXine, Pearl, X) and star Johnny Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge.
So, when Deadline reported on Nov. 4 that the Severance actor was joining the cast, many people were disappointed. According to the publication, sources say Tramell will play the Ghost of Christmas Present.
Tramell recently made history, winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for his acclaimed performance as Seth Milchick in Severance. He was the first openly gay person and first Black person to win the award.
Tramell has become a fan favorite, but his involvement in Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol with Johnny is not going over well with everybody. Here is just a taste of the reactions to the news:
Personally, I’m more bothered by the fact that two Christmas Carol movies are coming out back-to-back, reminiscent of the time Pixar and DreamWorks used to release rival films. When people complain we’re running out of ideas, I didn’t realize it was this bad. It’s the Muppets Christmas Carol for me, always.
What do you think about Tramell Tillman being in Ti West’s Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol with Johnny Depp?
