TIFF 2010: First Look At Will Ferrell In Dan Rush's EVERYTHING MUST GO

Though not serious, per se, Will Ferrell will be showing of his less manic side at the Toronto International Film Festival - his second appearance at the big fest, surprisingly - as the leading man in Dan Rush's Everything Must Go.

Based on a short story by Raymond Carver, the film follows Ferrell as a man who opts to live his life as a sort of permanent yard sale - literally - when his job and family fall apart. Here's the brief synopsis from TIFF.

After 16 years devising motivational speeches that promise certain success, Nick Porter (Will Ferrell) is abruptly fired. He returns home to discover his wife has left him, changed the locks on their home and dumped all his possessions on the front yard. Nick puts it all on the line - or, more properly, on the lawn - with an absurdly escalating garage sale that becomes a unique strategy for survival. Nick comes face-to-face with a life turned inside out and discovers in total exposure an unexpected path to renewal.

A trio of images have arrived from the film and you can check them in the gallery below.
