Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot

Loosely based on the life of irreverent and beloved Portland cartoonist John Callahan, Don’t Worry He Won’t Get Far on Foot begins with the near-fatal car accident that left him paralyzed. As Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix, You Were Never Really Here, Inherent Vice) struggles to navigate the world from the confines of a newly restricted body, his already debilitating alcohol dependency escalates. Encouraged by his girlfriend (Rooney Mara, A Ghost Story, Carol) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street), Callahan reluctantly enters a treatment program and discovers that he has a knack for drawing. The budding artist soon finds himself with a new lease on life when his edgy, politically incorrect newspaper cartoons gain a national and devoted following. Award-winning filmmaker Gus Van Sant’s darkly humorous and heartfelt biopic features knock-out performances from Phoenix and Hill.
