Cast for Christopher Landon’s Netflix Movie ‘We Have a Ghost’ Includes David Harbour and Anthony Mackie
Up next from Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is the Netflix family adventure movie We Have a Ghost, and The Hollywood Reporter breaks the first casting news today.
David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) and Anthony Mackie (Synchronic) have been set to star in the now-filming movie, alongside Tig Notaro (Army of the Dead), Jennifer Coolidge (Promising Young Woman), and Jahi Di’Allo Winston (Charm City Kings). The cast will also include Erica Ash, Isabella Russo, Niles Fitch, Faith Ford and Steve Coulter.
This project was first announced back in 2017, and it’s an adaptation of a story written by Geoff Manaugh that was published on Vice in October of that year.
The film “follows Kevin and his family, who find a ghost named Ernest haunting their new home and get turned into overnight social media sensations. But when Kevin and Ernest go rogue to investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA.”
Manaugh’s story was titled Ernest, billed as a “socially mediated ghost story.”
Landon wrote the script, and he’s also directing.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
