Dan Stevens Haunted By His Dead Wife in ‘Blithe Spirit’
Protagonist Pictures is heading to Cannes with Blithe Spirit, a genre comedy from director Edward Hall in which a man, played by The Guest‘s Dan Stevens, is haunted by his deceased wife, Bloody Disgusting learned. Isla Fisher and Judi Dench also star.
Coward’s comedy is about love that just won’t die…
“Stevens plays best-selling crime novelist Charles, who suffers from terrible writer’s block and is struggling to finish his first screenplay. His picture-perfect new wife Ruth is doing her best to keep him focussed so they can fulfill her dream of leaving London for Hollywood.
“Charles’ quest for inspiration leads him to invite the eccentric mystic Madame Acarti (Dench) to perform a séance in his home. He gets more than he bargained for when Madame Acarti inadvertently summons the spirit of his first wife: the brilliant and fiery Elvira.
“Ready to pick up her life right where she left off, Elvira is shocked to discover the prim and proper Ruth is now married to her husband and running her household. Charles finds himself stuck between his two wives and their increasingly over-the-top attempts to outdo one another in this lethally hilarious comedy.”
Casting continues as filming enters pre-production.
