Will Ferrell attached to new project from Hancock scrib
July 17, 2008
From THR:
Will Ferrell could soon be putting on another face.
The star of Columbia’s upcoming “Step Brothers” is attached to “2-Face,” a comedy from “Hancock” writer Vince Gilligan. The project is set up at Sony.
Gilligan’s script, which has had a long gestation period at the studio but had not been reported, is a concept comedy involving a character with a split personality: One part of him is a racist, and the other is a bleeding-heart liberal.
Mosaic Media and “Chronicles of Narnia” producer Mark Johnson are on board to produce. The search for a director is under way.
While “2-Face” is described as a comedy with mainstream appeal — familiar terrain for Ferrell — Gilligan’s credits and the story’s socially relevant hook might give the role added heft. Ferrell has tried his hand at more serious roles, most notably in Marc Forster’s 2006 drama “Stranger Than Fiction.”
Will Ferrell’s Advice to Nicole Kidman
July 17, 2008
Will Ferrell played Nicole Kidman’s husband in 2005’s Bewitched – and if she needs parenting tips, he’s available.
“For me, talk to your children, at least once a week,” Ferrell, the father of sons Magnus, 4, and Mattias, 1, joked to PEOPLE at Tuesday’s premiere of Step Brothers in L.A.
“If you’ve got time, do it two or three times a week,” he adds. “But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up.”
Week-old news of Kidman’s baby’s birth was slow getting to Ferrell. Kidman’s daughter, Sunday Rose, was born July 7.
“I actually didn’t know that,” Ferrell said, when asked about the birth. “Congratulations, Nicole! Did she have a boy or girl? A daughter. That’s great!”
Asked if Magnus and Mattias are aspiring funnymen like their father, Ferrell, 41, said straight-faced, “No, they’re not funny. They’re deadly serious.”

First Look at Will Ferrell In Land Of The Lost
March 25, 2008
Here’s your first look at Will Ferrell in the big screen adaptation of ‘Land of the Lost.’ Ferrell plays Park Ranger Rick Marshall who, along with his two children, inadvertently stumble into a mysterious land populated by dinosaurs and other creatures, including the mysterious and dangerous race of Sleestak’s. From the pictures, it looks like the theme of the movie will be more slapstick silly than serious. In the scene, Ferrell tosses the cigarette butt and the cheetos bag in the lake.

Note to Will Ferrell, No more Idiot Sports Movies
March 2, 2008
“Will Ferrell’s latest sports comedy ran afoul of moviegoers and is on track to become one of his worst performing movies, according to preliminary sales data issued on Saturday. “Semi-Pro,” in which the comedian plays the flamboyant owner of an underdog team in the now-defunct American Basketball Association, opened at No. 1 with estimated earnings of $5.45 million on Friday, tracking firm Box Office Mojo said. It is on track to earn about $14 million for the Friday-to-Sunday period, based on the multiples for his last two sports spoofs, 2007’s “Blades of Glory” and 2006’s “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” Industry observers had expected “Semi-Pro” to open above $20 million for the weekend.”

Ferrell Flops?!
March 1, 2008
“Will Ferrell’s Semi-Pro has tanked, ending a disastrous week for New Line. Not only did the studio cease business as a full-fledged studio on Thursday, now its 70’s-style basketball comedy managed only $5M on Friday, and it is likely headed for a meager $14.3M for the weekend. That would make Semi-Pro only the 9th-best opening of Farrell’s career.”
Semi-Pro to Score
February 28, 2008
“With Thursday’s announcement that New Line will fold into Warner Bros., Will Ferrell laffer “Semi-Pro” takes on the added distinction of being the final release from Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne’s standalone New Line. Basketball spoof “Semi-Pro” should have no trouble dribbling its way to No. 1 at the weekend box office, although it faces some issues in being rated R. Previous Ferrell topliners “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and last year’s “Blades of Glory” were both rated PG-13.”

Will Ferrell bigger than Jesus, eh, Tom Cruise…
February 15, 2008
“Remind Ferrell of the fact that his $20m-a-movie salary places him leagues above Tom Cruise who – while earning fractionally more per picture, actually works far less – he feigns shock: “I am? Really?! I love it! I’m going to print up T-shirts that say that!” Suddenly serious, he says: “But I don’t think about it a lot. When you’re in the midst of something like this – for me – there’s no air of cockiness. Ever. I know the nature of comedy, and you never know what will happen with the next movie or whether people will find it funny. Maybe audiences enjoy the fact that I’m committed to these characters, and I never really wink at what we’re doing.”
