With only two weeks to go, Apple TV+ has released the official trailer for Sean Anders' Spirited, an upcoming Christmas musical comedy that will put a fantastical spin on the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, with Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool; Free Guy) and Will Ferrell (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy; Step Brothers) starring in the lead roles.
The Instant Family director also co-wrote the screenplay with John Morris.
The plot is relatively self-explanatory, as the film will essentially be a modern-day adaptation of A Christmas Carol, with Clint Briggs (Reynolds) serving in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who will meet three Ghosts - Past (Sunia Mani), Present (Ferrell), and Yet to Come (Loren G. Woods) - over the holidays who will help him become a better man. However, in a fresh spin on the tale, the new film will also reveal the perspective of the ghosts.
In addition to Reynolds and Ferrell, the film stars Octavia Spencer, Sunita Mani, Patrick Page, Aimee Carrero, Joe Tippett, Marlow Barkley, Jen Tullock, P.J. Byrne, and Loren G. Woods.
Spirited hits theaters on November 11 and starts streaming on Apple TV+ on November 18.

Imagine Charles Dickens’ heartwarming tale of a scrooge visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve—but funnier. And with Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, and Octavia Spencer. Also, huge musical numbers. Okay, we’re asking a lot. Maybe just watch the trailer?
