Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell

Comedic actor takes on a role in an adaption of a Raymond Carver short story

No, the comic actor isn't talking about his last couple of movie roles.

Will Ferrell has signed on to star in the indie film Everything Must Go, according to Variety. Go is being written and directed by Dan Rush, who has directed commercials before this, his first feature.

Based on a story by the late Raymond Carver, the film is about a man who loses his job and then finds his wife has kicked him out and tossed all his stuff on the front lawn.

His response? Yard sale.

Sounds promising, and we can only guess that a quality, low-budget movie based on the work of a great American writer (who also provided the source material for Robert Altman's Short Cuts) might be the place for Ferrell to show off his considerable talents after Land of the Lost.
