Rebecca Hall joins 'Everything Must Go'

Rebecca Hall is to co-star with Will Ferrell in the independent comedy Everything Must Go.

The actress previously appeared in the Oscar-nominated Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Everything Must Go is about a relapsed alcoholic who forgoes his belongings and decides to live on his lawn after losing his wife.

Hall plays a newcomer to the neighbourhood who forms a special bond with Ferrell's character.

It is the debut project for writer-director Dan Rush, who adapted the screenplay from a Raymond Carver short story.
