Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell Team Up for the Family Drama Downhill
Two amazing comedy legends get together for a heartfelt and thoughtful drama about living life which involves raising children, the ups and downs of marriage and grief. In the film DOWNHILL, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell team up for this very relevant family drama.
In DOWNHILL, the Stantons barely escaping an avalanche during a ski vacation in the Alps throws a seemingly picture-perfect family into disarray as they are forced to reevaluate life, and how they truly feel about each other.
Said Julia Louis-Dreyfus from the set: “(I’m) thrilled to have completed my first day of filming with Jim and Nat and Will Ferrell and my friends at Likely Story here in Austria; it’s all DOWNHILL from here.”
“Obviously, Searchlight is like family at this point, “ said directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. “We’re honored to be working with them for a third time. But, to also have our paths cross with Julia, and a fellow Groundling alum in Will, makes this all the more special and exciting for us.”
Producer Anthony Bregman said “Downhill is a tale of bad judgement and moral weakness, so how fitting that Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell embody those values. Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, of course, are more than qualified to capture the fallout.”
“We’re thrilled to once again be working with the inimitable duo of Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. And it goes without saying that bringing Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell together for the first time on screen is a dream come true. The Austrian alps are in for a comedic avalanche,” said David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield, Fox Searchlight Pictures Presidents of Production, Film and Television.
DOWNHILL is in theaters on February 14, 2020, just in time for the Valentine’s Day weekend.
