September 6th 2024.
Everyone is buzzing about Will Ferrell's new documentary, Will & Harper, which just dropped its emotional trailer on Netflix. The iconic comedian, now 57, reunites with his friend Harper Steele for a 17-day road trip across the United States. But this isn't just any road trip - it takes place in the wake of the Covid pandemic and follows Harper's emotional journey through her gender transition.
Will and Harper first met while working together on Saturday Night Live back in the 90s. The two were both cast members at the same time, but eventually went on to pursue their own solo careers. They reunited to write the hit Netflix film, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. When the pandemic hit, Harper reached out to Will and their other friends to share her intentions and feelings. And thus, the idea for Will & Harper was born.
The trailer opens with Will reading a letter from Harper, where she informs him of her plans to transition and live as a woman. Originally released at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2024, the documentary is now making its way to Netflix on September 27. The emotional trailer has already left viewers in tears, with one Twitter user writing, "Sobbing at the trailer is always a good sign."
The two-minute clip shows the pair traveling across America as Harper embraces her true self. Will expresses how proud he is of her, saying, "You're a brand new version of yourself." Twitter users are already raving about the impact this documentary will have, with one user saying, "It has the potential to make a really huge positive impact."
In another heartwarming moment, Will shares that he used to be "embarrassed" by his real name, John William Ferrell. He recalls how he would cringe every time the teacher called out "John Ferrell" on the first day of school. But now, he's embracing his true self and sharing his story with the world.
The documentary currently has a 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and will have a limited run in American theaters before its Netflix release. Fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere of Will & Harper on September 27. Have a celebrity story to share?
