Spirited is not your great great great great great great grandparents’ Christmas Carol (give or take). Described as “a modern musical reimagining of the classic Christmas ghost story A Christmas Carol,” Spirited is a musical version of the classic Christmas story by Charles Dickens and follows a miserly man who treats everyone around him with terrible selfishness finds himself on a fantastical adventure into the three phases of time: past, present, and future, in order to discover how he ended up so miserable and alone.
Directed by Sean Anders and John Morris of Daddy’s Home, Daddy’s Home 2, and Instant Family fame, Spirited is led by the comedy stylings of Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds as Clint Briggs (think Ebenezer Scrooge but with the leading man good looks of Reynolds) and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy star Will Ferrell as Present, aka the Ghost of Christmas Present.
The rest of the cast includes the likes of Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures), Sunita Mani (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Past, Patrick Page (In the Heights), Aimee Carrero (The Menu) as Nora, Joe Tippett (Mare of Easttown), Marlow Barkley (Slumberland) as Wren, Jen Tullock (Severance) as Wendy, P.J. Byrne (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Mr. Alteli, and Loren G. Woods as Yet to Come.
Spirited Will Make the Perfect Festive Treat this Holiday Season
Spirited is sure to make the perfect Christmas gift for audiences everywhere this holiday season, as it takes the classic Dickens tale about the short-tempered and effortlessly selfish Ebenezer Scrooge, and his experience meeting the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Of course, the timeless tale ends with Scrooge learning the error of his ways and being transformed into a much kinder and gentler person, with Spirited aiming to tell the story to a modern audience amid what’s sure to be plenty of laughs courtesy of the comedic duo of Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell.
“Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago,” Reynolds said of the project. “Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true. And this is my second film with the great Octavia Spencer… Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists. These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both.”
Spirited is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 11, 2022, and will later be available on Apple TV+ from November 18, 2022.
