Genie Trailer Is Out

Peacock drops the trailer for comedy called Genie, directed by filmmaker Sam Boyd.

The film stars Melissa McCarthy, Denée Benton, Marc Maron, Jordyn McIntosh, Luis Guzmán, Tate Ellington, LaChanze, and Alan Cumming.

Melissa McCarthy stars as Flora, a genie trapped for more than 2,000 years inside an antique jewelry box because of one teeny-tiny little misunderstanding with a sorcerer back in 77 B.C.

After millennia of being summoned to grant wishes of gold doubloons and hot babes for greedy men, Flora is accidentally called to service by Bernard Bottle (Paapa Essiedu), whose life is unraveling around him.

Bernard's been so busy working that he has lost sight of his marriage to his wife Julie (Denée Benton) and the childhood of his daughter, Eve (Jordyn Mcintosh).

Alone in his New York City apartment, a despondent Bernard dusts off a jewelry box he finds in their home and unintentionally releases the one entity who just might be able to help him get his family back. Maybe. Possibly. 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.

The screenplay is written by Richard Curtis, based on his 1991 teleplay "Bernard and the Genie". Produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Riva Marker, Richard Curtis. Universal will debut Boyd's Genie movie streaming on Peacock starting on November 22nd, 2023.
