Melissa McCarthy is helping us get into the holiday spirit!
Peacock has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming movie Genie, starring the 53-year-old Oscar-nominated actress and Paapa Essiedu.
From Oscar-nominated screenwriter Richard Curtis and director Sam Boyd comes Genie, “a holiday fairytale comedy about a genie, a man, and landing one last chance to fix the mess you’ve made of your life. With his job, life and family unraveling around him, a despondent Bernard (Essiedu) dusts off a jewelry box and unintentionally releases genie Flora (McCarthy), who just might be able to help him. Maybe. It’s a longshot, frankly. In the process, Flora and Bernard will discover that love, and an unexpected friendship, can unleash a special holiday magic all its own.”
