In an interview with Empire Magazine, Landon said that he was drawn to the idea of Ernest as a “beat-down, tax-accountant-looking kind of guy” who, despite his sad and memory-loss state, still holds on to the seeds of love and mischief. Christopher Landon has brought a unique sense of fun to the slasher genre with his last few features - encompassing everything from time-looping horror-mystery in Happy Death Day to 2020s body-swap kill fest Freaky.

For his new film, We Have a Ghost, he is changing course and introducing family-friendly spooks into the mix. This Amblin-style narrative will tell the story of a kind ghost discovered by the family living in the house he haunts. According to Landon, this movie offers him a chance to flex “certain muscles” that he has not had a use for yet.

We Have a Ghost is one of the newest additions to Netflix’s growing catalog. With an intriguing premise and talented cast, the movie is poised to be a hit among audiences. It promises to be a fun and emotionally engaging experience that will leave audiences feeling uplifted and with a sense of hope. With its heartwarming story and talented cast, this upcoming comedy is one to watch out for.

“I really wanted to flex certain muscles that I felt like I had, but I hadn’t been able to use yet. One of those being this big, sweeping, emotional story that really pays off at the end.”

We Have a Ghost will be available to stream on Netflix on Feb. 24.
