Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell promise yet another interpretation of the Victorian novel, A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens. In this light-hearted musical, Reynolds plays the role of Clint Briggs, a variation of Dickens’ Scrooge, while Ferrell takes on the role of the ghost of Christmas Present. However, there is a delightful twist as the film spins the novel on its head and examines the story from the perspective of the ghosts instead. So, we see Briggs looking at the ghost’s past, present and future.

Ryan Reynolds decided to present the trailer of Spirited as a gift to his ‘frenemy’ Hugh Jackman on his birthday. He captioned his post, “Happy Birthday, Hugh. This year, I’m giving you the gift of being much worse than you at singing and dancing. But at least there’s Will and Octavia!”
Spirited will release in theatres on November 11 and on Apple on November 18.
