Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Eli Saslow’s Washington Post article, Four Good Days is being described as a hard-hitting substance abuse story that will follow the story of Deb (Close), a mother helping her daughter Molly (Kunis) work through four crucial days on Molly’s road to recovery from substance abuse. Their time together after a long estrangement revives both the painful wounds they have inflicted on each other, but also offers the opportunity to rekindle their fundamental, complicated, love for one another.
The film’s script is written by Saslow along with Garcia, who will also served as a producer through his Indigenous Media banner. Marina Grasic and Jai Khanna of Oakhurst Entertainment are set as producers along with Jon Avnet and Jake Avnet of Indigenous Media (Lonely Doll). Capstone (Whiplash, Come Away) will handle the film’s international sales with Productivity Media (The Little Hours, Stockholm) and Oakhurst committing to finance the project. The film will be executive produced by Productivity and Capstone.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in September in Los Angeles.
