What if Ebenezer Scrooge was gay? That's the premise of an update of the Charles Dickens's classic tale of redemption, A Christmas Carol. 

The Lair's David Moretti costars with comic Bruce Vilanch and Playgirl model-turned-actor Ronnie Kroell in Scrooge & Marley, an upcoming holiday comedy that puts a gay spin on the venerable holiday favorite. In the retelling veteran actor David Pevsner will offer a unique take on the miserly Scrooge and will appear alongside A League of Their Own's Megan Cavanagh, Drop Dead Diva's Rusty Schwimmer, and Saturday Night Live alum Tim Kazurinsky. Scrooge & Marley is being co-directed by Richard Knight, Jr. and Peter Neville. To donate to the independent film's completion, go here.

        If you’ve ever walked into a room, driven through a small town, or simply existed in a space where white cis-het norms were mandatory—and felt the dreaded weight of unwelcome eyes upon you—then the pervasive sense of dread and foreboding that writer-director Vera Miao and cinematographer Heyjin Jun capture in Rock Springs will be eerily and achingly familiar.
