Will Ferrell And Julia Louis Dreyfus in Downhill, Trailer Out
The first official trailer of Downhill is out; the forthcoming comic caper is a remake of the critically acclaimed Swedish comedy Force Majeure.
Downhill is written and directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who won an Oscar for co-writing The Descendants and made their directorial debut on the 2013 comedy The Way Way Back. They co-wrote the film with Jesse Armstrong.
The film also stars Zach Woods, Zoë Chao, and Miranda Otto.
The American version of Downhill stars Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a married couple whose family ski vacation in the Alps is thrown into disarray when they’re forced to re-evaluate their lives and how they feel about each other following a narrow escape from an avalanche.
In the Swedish version of the story, the husband abandons his wife and family to save himself, only to find the avalanche didn’t harm anyone. So he saved himself, everyone lived, and now he has to confront the consequences of his selfish action and what it means for his relationship and family.
