Casper 30th Anniversary: The Favorite Returns to Theaters

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Brad Silberling (A Series of Unfortunate Events, City of Angels), the film stars Bill Pullman (Independence Day and Equalizer franchises) as Dr. Harvey, a ghost therapist, and two-time Emmy nominee Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets, The Addams Family films) as his daughter Kat.

When they move into a drafty old mansion so that Dr. Harvey can exorcise the home’s otherworldly inhabitants, they meet a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper (voiced by Malachi Pearson), who’s just looking for a friend, and his outrageous uncles Stretch (Joe Nipote), Stinkie (Joe Alasky) and Fatso (two-time Emmy winner Brad Garrett; Everybody Loves Raymond, Finding Nemo).
