Ti West will soon unleash his take on Charles Dickens’ classic story with ‘Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol’, and we have a fresh set of images.
Ti West (the X trilogy) will soon get into the Christmas spirit with his adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol. Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we have a few fresh images of the film’s cast.
