Will Ferrell Is Two Faced

Will Ferrell is a busy guy these days when it comes to makin movies.

Variety is now reporting that Will has been cast as the lead in Sony’s dramedy Two Face, which is written by X-Files vet Vince Gilligan, who also had a hand in the Hancock screenplay.

The pitch: Ferrell will play a virulent racist who develops a split personality after an accident, and his alter ego turns out to be a bleeding-heart liberal.

Ferrell has been interested in the project for several years, but the recent success of the Gilligan-scripted Hancock has prompted Sony to move forward with the film.

Mark Johnson and Jimmy Miller will serve as producers on Two Face.

Ferrell is hoping to star in the film prior to shooting a Sherlock Holmes comedy with Sacha Baron Cohen. He also has his comedy Land of the Lost coming out, which is now in post-production.

Will Ferrell And Sacha Baron Cohen Take On Sherlock Holmes

Well this should be interesting!

Columbian pictures is working on an untitled comedy that will star Sacha Baron Cohen as master detective Sherlock Holmes and Will Ferrell as Watson, his crime-solving partner.

Not to be confused with Warner Bro’s more action-based Guy Ritchie effort - this one aims to take a fresh, comedic stab at Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic sleuth stories.

Matt Tolmach, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures, tells Variety.com:

”Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson makes us laugh.

“Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious.”
