Will Ferrell Gets Dramatic For Everything Must GoBy Tim Gomez: 2009-10-15 22:37:41
Bill Murray is a rarity. He's one of the few comedy actors who has successfully embraced a new role as an independent, sometimes dramatic actor. Jim Carrey could’ve done it. He was amazing in The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine. Adam Sandler still has a chance to do it. He was a shining light in the flawed Funny People. And Will Ferrell still has a shot at it. Remember Stranger than Fiction and the lesser known Winter Passing?
Well, it seems as though Will may have another go at outgrowing his comedy mold. Variety reports that Ricky Bobby has signed on to play the lead in the upcoming Everything Must Go, the debut film from former commercial director Dan Rush. The film is an indie romantic comedy that follows a man who is laid off his job and then locked out of his house by his wife. She then throws all of his belongings on the front lawn, and he spends the next several days attempting to sell them. This sounds like the perfect flick for Ferrell. It’s socially relevant, which Ferrell can sometimes be, and it calls for what sounds like a pathetic male lead, which Ferrell is perfect at Frank the Tanking. Really though, I hope he gets a chance to play something other than a Will Ferrell character here. If Dan Rush is smart, he’ll allow Will to show off the depth that I’m positive he has. Otherwise, this may just be another Judd Apatow-produced manboy comedy.
