Will Ferrell Will star in the English Adaptation of 'The 100 Year-Old Man'. In 2013, the Jonas Jonasson's comic novel 'The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared' was adapted into a Swedish movie. Ferrell and his team are giving the story another go. 'Narcos' screenwriter Jason George is reportedly hired to write the script. The movie is about a man named Allan (Ferrell) who manages to escape his nursing home on his 100th birthday. The Adaptation is still looking for a director.
