Will Ferrell will play “Two Face”
Will Ferrell has been intrigued by the script for three years and he has finally signed on to star in Vince Gilligan’s upcoming drama-comedy “Two Face.”
Ferrell will play the title character, a racist who, after one of his many pranks goes horribly wrong, develops a split personality.
Mark Johnson and Jimmy Miller will produce “Two Face.”
Ferrell will most likely shoot “Two Face” before he gets to work on the Etan Cohen scripted Sherlock Holmes and Watson, a comedy that he will be co-starring in with Sasha Baron Cohen.
Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes – Confirmed
Robert Downey Jr. is set to star as the main character in Sherlock Holmes.
The film’s storyline is inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels and also the “Sherlock Holmes” comics, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Guy Ritchie will direct this Sherlock version for Warner Bros.
The concept sees Holmes as more adventurous and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations and mines more obscure character traits.
Ritchie’s Holmes will begin shooting in October and will have to contend with Columbia’s Sherlock Holmes, a comedy version set to star Sacha Baron Cohen as Holmes and Will Ferrell as Dr. Watson. Judd Apatow is producing the comedy.
Of course, Ritchie’s version will be more serious as they intend to draw from both the literary and comic versions of Holmes
