Netflix has premiered the trailer for its forthcoming horror comedy “We Have a Ghost” which stars David Harbour and Anthony Mackie and hails from “Happy Death Day” and “Freaky” writer/director Christopher Landon.
The story follows a family who has moved into a haunted house. When the youngest son, Kevin (Niles Fitch), ventures into the attic on a ghost-hunting quest, he discovers a mute and not-so-scary ghost named Ernest (Harbour).
He films their interaction and then uploads it onto YouTube and the family (led by Mackie’s character) becomes an overnight sensation, with everyone, including psychics wanting a piece of the spectre.
When they investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA who have malicious intent for the spirit. Can the family help Ernest before it’s too late?
The story is based on Geoff Manaugh’s short story titled “Ernest”. Recently Golden Globe winner Jennifer Coolidge also stars along with Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Tig Notaro, Erica Ash, Faith Ford, Niles Fitch, Isabella Russo, and Steve Coulter.
Marty Bowen and Dan Halsted produce “We Have a Ghost”, which will release on the streamer on Friday, February 24th.
Harbour and Mackie will next be seen in Marvel Studios films “Thunderbolts” and “Captain America: New World Order” respectively.
