Spirited Away
Sean Anders on Spirited, his radical reinvention of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol
Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell: shocking.
THERE ARE FEW works of literature that have been adapted as many times as A Christmas Carol. But none have ever been told from the perspective of the ghosts… Until now, that is.
That’s the USP of Spirited, Apple TV+’s new musical comedy retelling of Charles Dickens’s 1843 novella that stars Will Ferrell as a disillusioned Ghost of Christmas Present and Ryan Reynolds as his “perp”, ruthless PR executive Clint Briggs.
