Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that Blithe Spirit, the new Sky Original film based on Noël Coward’s classic stage comedy, will be released on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital platforms on 26th April 2021.
Directed by Edward Hall and adapted by Nick Moorcroft & Meg Leonard and Piers Ashworth, the film stars Academy Award® and BAFTA winner Judi Dench alongside Dan Stevens, Leslie Mann, and Isla Fisher.
Blithe Spirit is a riotous reimagining of Noël Coward’s classic comedy, about love that just won’t die… Best-selling crime novelist Charles (Dan Stevens) is struggling with catastrophic writer’s block and a stressful deadline for his first screenplay. His picture-perfect second wife Ruth (Isla Fisher) is doing her best to keep him focussed in the hope of fulfilling her dream of heading to Hollywood. Charles’ desperate search for inspiration leads him to invite Madame Arcati (Judi Dench), a medium recently exposed as a fraud, to perform a séance in their home. They all get more than they bargained for when Arcati accidentally summons the spirit of his deceased first wife: the fiery and jealous Elvira (Leslie Mann) who embarks on a mission to kill Charles so she can spend eternity with him which leads to an increasingly comical and deadly love triangle.
