‘Will & Harper’ Trailer: Will Ferrell’s Best Friend Came Out as Transgender, So They Took a Road Trip to Rediscover Each Other
variety.comAndrés Buenahora editor Netflix has unveiled the trailer for Will Ferrell’s roadtrip documentary “Will & Harper,” which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
The streaming giant acquired distribution rights to the film in February. The official synopsis for “Will & Harper” from Netflix reads: “Two years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: His dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.
That friend was Harper Steele, a writer Will met on his first day at ‘Saturday Night Live’ back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades.
In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves – this time, as herself.
