Producers Temple Hill partners and Twilight Producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey have committed to finance production of ‘Everything Must Go’, starring Will Ferrell, Rebecca Hall and Michael Pena.
The drama marks the directing debut of writer Dan Rush, who penned the script based on a Raymond Carver short Story. It follows the misadventures of a recovering alcoholic [Will Ferrell], who relapses while away on a business trip, he is subsequently fired and kicked out by his wife. But, when she deposits his belongings on the lawn, he refuses to vacate the spot, until he sells everything.
Hopefully, Ferrell’s return to an indie drama will result in a performance that matches ‘Stranger than Fiction’ rather than what seems an endless run of forgettable roles.
Also announced is the casting of Rebecca Hall, last seen in Dorian Gray and Frost/Nixon, as a recent newcomer to the neighbourhood who forges a special relationship with the troubled Ferrell.
Rush will set the camera’s rolling for the first time next week in Arizona.
