A Christmas Carol Adaptation (Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds)

[Himmel]

Christmas is coming a little early. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds are developing a musical reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol.

Sean Anders and John Morris of the Daddy's Home films are writing and directing, and Ferrell and Reynolds will star, though details of who they will play are being kept in Scrooge's bank vault.
The package is currently being shopped around town and has no studio attached as yet.

Charles Dickens' 1843 novella — about the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge being visited by ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future — has been adapted numerous times, with a number of productions taking creative license with the property, such as Bill Murray's 1988 comedy Scrooged and 1992's The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Ferrell's Gloria Sanchez, Reynolds' Maximum Effort and Mosaic are producing the musical take on A Christmas Carol, along with Anders and Morris.
