Hollywood funnyman Will Ferrell will star in Lasse Hallstrom's "Tom's Dad".
Set in 1960s Nevada, Ferrell, 47, plays nightclub performer Arthur who hopes to make it big with his stage act involving circus animals, but he is forced to rekindle his relationship with his estranged 12-year-old son after his ex-wife leaves for a three-week trip, reported Deadline.
Last week, it was announced that Ferrell's miniseries "The Spoils Before Dying", a follow-up to "The Spoils of Babylon", will make its debut this summer on IFC.
"The Spoils Before Dying" will air on three consecutive nights beginning on July 8.
Ferrell's last comedy was "Get Hard" with Kevin Hart back in March.
Ferrell is also starring in the indie drama "Russ & Roger Go Beyond", directed by Michael Winterbottom.
