Will Ferrell (Step Brothers, Semi-Pro, Old School) has agreed to star in the low budget film, “
Everything Must Go.” The indie film from first-time feature director
Dan Rush will have a budget of just $10 million.
Rush wrote the script, based on a
Raymond Carver short story. Ferrell plays a man who loses his job and then gets locked out of the house by his wife. When she throws out all of his belongings, he decides to spend the next four days on the lawn trying to sell them.
Marty Bowen and
Wyck Godfrey will produce through their
Temple Hill Productions company.
In a statement, producer Bowen said:
Will is one of the best at making an audience sympathize with a character's ordeal, and the blending and comedy in this script will show a side of him that we haven't really seen before.
Filming begins in March 2010.
